AI ops assistant for Mackay bars & wine bars. Admin that actually works.
Running a bar in Mackay means juggling supplier calls, event bookings, staff rosters, and a dozen other things that aren't pouring drinks. Calso is the AI layer that handles the noise—capturing calls, drafting rosters, managing orders—so you don't have to.
Saturday night at a Mackay bar: the room's full, the till's moving, and your phone buzzes with a rep calling about next week's wine order. You ignore it. Monday morning, you've forgotten half the details. Calso sits in the background of your operations, screening those calls, logging the details, and drafting an order based on what's actually moving through your venue. It's not flashy. It's just the admin work you've been doing by hand—captured, organised, and waiting for you to review. For bars and wine bars across Mackay, that's the difference between chaos and a rhythm you can actually manage.
Mackay's hospitality scene is competitive and seasonal. You've got venues pulling custom from the city centre, the marina precinct, and weekenders from further out. Your regulars know what they want; your staff turnover is real; your suppliers are always calling at the worst time. Whether you're running a tight wine bar or a high-volume local, the admin load is the same—and it's the thing keeping you from actually running the business.

The operational grind every bar owner knows.
How Calso helps a Mackay bar
The whole operational layer — handled autonomously.
Call screening & logging
Reps, suppliers, event enquiries—Calso picks up, logs the details, and slots them into your calendar. You review once, not five times.
Roster drafting on demand
Feed Calso your team and their availability. It drafts a roster based on trading patterns and your notes. You tweak and confirm.
Order & inventory rhythm
Calso tracks what's moving and flags when stock patterns suggest a reorder. No more guessing or last-minute panic buys.
Event & booking management
Private functions, wine tastings, group bookings—Calso captures enquiries, confirms details, and keeps timelines visible.
A day at a Mackay bar
It's Saturday evening in Mackay. A rep calls about next week's spirits order. Calso answers, captures what they're offering and what you usually buy, and drops it into your calendar for Sunday review. You stay on the floor.
What you reclaim
Reclaim 8–10 hours a week spent on admin you didn't choose to do. Stay on the floor instead.

Common questions from Mackay bars & wine bars
Does Calso work for Mackay bars & wine bars specifically?+
Yes. Calso is built for hospitality venues—bars, wine bars, pubs. It handles the specific chaos of Mackay venues: supplier calls, rosters, event bookings, and the dozen other admin tasks that pull you away from the bar. The system learns your trading patterns, your team, and your suppliers.
How is Calso different from hiring a part-time admin or VA?+
A part-time admin works 15–20 hours and costs accordingly. Calso runs 24/7, doesn't take holidays, and doesn't need training on your specific suppliers or systems. It's not replacing a person; it's replacing the admin layer that currently lives in your head and your phone.
What happens if Calso gets something wrong?+
Every action is reviewable before it's finalised. Calso starts conservative—flagging things for your approval rather than acting alone. As you use it, you grant it more autonomy in areas where it's consistently reliable. You're always in control.
Can we integrate Calso with our POS and accounting?+
Yes. Calso integrates with Xero, MYOB, Square, and other systems most Mackay venues use. It pulls data from your POS to understand what's selling, and it syncs orders and rosters back into your accounting and scheduling tools.
How do we get started?+
We're building access for founding venues in Mackay and across Australia. Get on the waitlist and we'll walk you through a short setup—connecting your systems, feeding Calso your team and suppliers, and running it live for a week. No long contracts.
