Software we’ve built and run

Working software is the strongest reference a consultant can offer. Here’s ours: two live products anyone can visit, and the custom systems built to run a real multi-location business.

OutpostIQ: restaurant profitability, modeled live

Restaurant operators fly blind on profitability. Food costs move weekly, labor is the biggest controllable line, and by the time the monthly P&L arrives the damage is four weeks old. OutpostIQ is a full SaaS product built to fix that: a modeling engine where an operator changes any assumption, from menu price to staffing, and watches it flow through to the bottom line instantly. Accounts, billing, and content engine included.

It’s live at outpostiq.com. Poke around. It’s the closest thing to a reference call you can do at 11pm.

Pro Spec IQ: bidding and estimating for the trades

Contractors lose jobs and margins in the gap between a walkthrough and a number. Pro Spec IQ is an all-in-one platform for construction companies and trade professionals: accurate bids built from material, labor, equipment, and sub costs, real margins visible before committing to a job, work tracked from kickoff to punch list, and a pipeline that turns prospects into proposals.

Also live, at prospeciq.com.

An executive dashboard for a multi-location restaurant group

Every location on one screen. Sales, labor, and costs across the whole group, pulled automatically and updated daily, with the drift flagged before it becomes a bad month. The owners went from reading last month’s story to steering this week’s. This is the build we mean when we say a dashboard should replace guesswork, and it has been running every morning for years.

Why this matters for your project

Every one of these came from the same discipline: software has to survive a Tuesday rush. The stack is modern, boring in the best way, and cheap to operate. The point is a tool that works for years.
