1 in 10 Australian small businesses have started with AI. The other 9 are your competition.

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: the menu, hours and open-now status kept correct on Google, Apple Maps and in the AI answers that now sit above the search results.
Fresh content: this week's specials written from what the kitchen is running, posted to the website and socials each Thursday.
Socials: the weekend's photos turned into posts, replies to comments drafted for the owner to send.
Bookings: group and function enquiries answered with real availability while service is on.
Regulars: a customer list that gets one email a month worth opening.
The numbers: the till, roster and suppliers feed one private page, so the week's figures are there before the owner asks.

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