AI operations for Cottesloe cafes. Handle the admin, not the stress.
Running a cafe in Cottesloe means juggling wholesale orders during the morning rush, fielding catering enquiries, and staying on top of reviews. Calso handles the admin layer so you don't.
It's 6am on a Tuesday in Cottesloe. You're meant to be pulling the first espressos, but your phone's already buzzing—a wholesale supplier asking about next week's order, a customer enquiry about weekend bookings, three Google reviews waiting for replies. By 9am you've lost an hour to admin you didn't plan for. This is the rhythm for most cafe owners along the strip and beyond. Calso sits between you and that chaos, answering calls, placing standing orders, drafting review replies, and logging invoices—all in your voice, all reviewed by you before it matters. It's the operations layer you've been doing manually, now running quietly in the background.
Cottesloe's hospitality scene draws a steady mix of locals, weekenders from Perth's eastern suburbs, and tourists cycling through. Saturday mornings bring the breakfast crowd; evenings shift toward wine bars and casual dining. Nearby suburbs like Swanbourne, City Beach, and Claremont feed the same customer base, which means competition is real and consistency matters. Trading hours are long, margins are tight, and the difference between a well-run venue and one drowning in admin often comes down to who's handling the calls and paperwork.

The whole operational layer — handled autonomously.
Phone answering & order capture
Calso answers calls from suppliers, customers, and enquiries—taking orders, capturing details, logging them for your review. No more missed wholesale calls during the morning rush or lost catering leads.
Supplier ordering automation
Set up standing orders for milk, beans, bread, produce. Calso places them on schedule, adjusts for demand patterns, and logs confirmations. You review, approve, done.
Review & social replies
Calso drafts replies to Google reviews and Instagram comments in your voice, flags urgent ones, and keeps your online presence warm without eating into your day.
Invoice & supplier reconciliation
Calso logs invoices, matches them to orders, flags discrepancies, and organises them for your accountant. No more spreadsheet wrestling at 10pm.

Common questions from Cottesloe cafes
Does Calso work for Cottesloe cafes specifically?+
Yes. Calso is built for Australian hospitality—it understands local suppliers, trading rhythms, and the way Cottesloe venues operate. Whether you're fielding weekend breakfast rushes or managing catering requests, Calso adapts to your workflow. It learns your suppliers, your menu patterns, and your voice, so replies and orders feel like they came from you.
How is Calso different from hiring a part-time admin or VA?+
A VA is great if you can find one and afford the time to train them. Calso is available immediately, doesn't need breaks or training, and works 24/7. It answers calls at 11pm, logs invoices on Sunday, and drafts replies while you sleep. You still review everything—Calso doesn't act without your approval—but it removes the friction of doing it yourself.
What happens if Calso gets something wrong?+
Can we integrate Calso with our POS and accounting?+
Yes. Calso works with Square, Xero, MYOB, and other systems most Australian venues use. Invoices can flow straight to your accounting software, orders can sync with your POS, and data stays clean. Integration is part of the setup conversation—no extra work on your end.
How do we get started?+
Chat with us about your venue, your suppliers, and your biggest admin pain point. We'll set up Calso to handle your workflow, train it on your voice and ordering patterns, and get it live. Early venues get hands-on support to make sure it fits your rhythm.
