AI ops assistant for Terrigal cafes. Handle the admin, keep the coffee flowing.
Running a cafe in Terrigal means juggling wholesale calls during the morning rush, chasing invoices at night, and replying to DMs between services. Calso handles the admin layer — ordering, phone answering, review replies, social drafts — so you can focus on what you actually opened the place to do.
It's 6:45am on a Monday in Terrigal. The espresso machine is warming up, your first regulars are trickling in, and your phone buzzes: the milk supplier needs a call back, a catering enquiry landed on Instagram, and last night's invoice still isn't reconciled. This is the rhythm of a cafe on the Central Coast — busy enough that the admin never stops, but not quite big enough to justify hiring full-time office staff. Calso sits in that gap. It's an AI operations assistant that answers phones, places wholesale orders, captures enquiries, replies to reviews in your voice, and handles the invoice reconciliation that usually eats your evening. You stay focused on the counter and the kitchen. Calso handles everything else.
Terrigal's cafe culture is built on foot traffic — weekend visitors from the northern beaches, weekday regulars who know your name, families ducking in before the beach. The competition is tight; there's a new spot opening every season, and the ones that win are the ones that feel effortless to walk into. That ease doesn't happen by accident. It happens when the owner isn't distracted by admin, when orders arrive on time, when reviews get answered quickly, and when catering enquiries don't slip through the cracks. Neighbouring suburbs like Avoca and Terrigal draw similar crowds, which means your supply chain and customer service have to be sharp.

The operational grind every cafe owner knows.
How Calso helps a Terrigal cafe
The whole operational layer — handled autonomously.
Phone answering & ordering
Calso takes wholesale calls, captures orders, and places them with your suppliers. No more missed milk runs or forgotten bread orders. The order goes in before you're even fully caffeinated.
Review & message replies
Every Google review, Instagram comment, and catering enquiry gets a reply in your voice. Calso learns your tone and handles it autonomously — or flags it for you to review first.
Invoice & admin reconciliation
Receipts, invoices, and supplier statements get logged and reconciled automatically. No more shoebox accounting or spreadsheet hunting at the end of the month.
Social & specials drafting
Calso drafts Instagram posts, specials announcements, and promotional content. You review and post in seconds instead of staring at a blank screen.

It's 5:45am in Terrigal. Your Monday milk order is already placed. A catering enquiry that landed on Instagram at 9pm last night has been captured and summarised. A one-star review from the weekend has a thoughtful reply ready for your approval. You pour the first coffee.

Common questions from Terrigal cafes
Does Calso work for Terrigal cafes specifically?+
Yes. Calso is built for Australian hospitality venues, and cafes in Terrigal face the exact operational challenges it solves: supplier coordination, customer enquiries across multiple channels, review management, and invoice reconciliation. The rhythm of a Terrigal cafe — morning rush, weekend peaks, tight margins — is exactly what Calso is designed for.
How is Calso different from hiring a part-time admin or VA?+
A part-time admin costs money, needs training, takes holidays, and can only work during business hours. Calso works 24/7, learns your suppliers and tone, and gets faster and more reliable the longer you use it. You're not paying for someone's time; you're automating the repetitive work that currently interrupts your day.
What happens if Calso gets something wrong?+
Calso starts conservative. It flags decisions for your review before acting, and every action is logged and reviewable. As it learns your suppliers, your voice, and your preferences, it earns more autonomy. You're always in control — Calso just removes the friction.
Can we integrate Calso with our POS and accounting?+
Yes. Calso integrates with Xero, MYOB, Square, and other systems most Australian cafes use. Your invoices sync automatically, your supplier orders feed into your accounting, and your customer interactions get logged in one place. No manual data entry.
How do we get started?+
Get on the waitlist. We're currently working with founding venues in Terrigal and across the Central Coast to refine the system. Early access venues shape the product and get priority support. Once you're in, setup takes a day or two — connecting your suppliers, POS, and accounts, then letting Calso learn your rhythm.
