What a business like this can have running on its own

Six jobs the owner usually does by hand, and what a system built for that business does instead.

Being found: programs, fees and intake dates in a form Google and AI search can quote to parents.
Enrolment: enquiries answered with the next intake and a tour booking.
Families: absences, invoices and newsletters run from one list.
Waitlist: families told the day a place opens.
Content: a monthly update written from what the children actually did.
The numbers: occupancy and what is outstanding, kept current from enrolments and fees, for the director only.

Each one is a working system, built for that business and owned outright by it. How Coastworks AI builds AI automations for small businesses.
