About 24 hours a week, handed back.

The problem

TemakHouse ran a real restaurant on spreadsheets held together by hand. Cash closeouts were photographed at night and typed in the next morning. Invoices went into the books one line at a time. Payroll was computed by hand. And money landed from five platforms at once, so reconciling a single day meant opening Toast, Square, Stripe, DoorDash and Uber Eats separately and stitching them together. All in, the books ate more than thirty hours a week, and the monthly close dragged on for days.

What Forma built

Two Airtable bases the operation now runs on, both inside TemakHouse's own accounts: a vendor tracker, and a fixed-expenses and payroll base. On top of them sit the AI agents we built and deployed, running nine automations that do the typing nobody should have been doing. The Airtable backbone, explained

Every automation writes into a base TemakHouse owns, not one we hold, so the base and all its data stay theirs. See how it works

The 7am briefing

Every morning opens the same way now: the agents have already pulled the five deposit feeds, filled them in and reconciled them, read the overnight invoices by OCR into the vendor tracker, computed payroll for review, and rolled it all into one P&L across every platform. The owner reads a briefing instead of building one.

$10k+in Toast Capital withholding nobody was tracking, surfaced in a single month once the numbers finally sat in one place.

How we measure: hours and task counts logged on TemakHouse's own books, before and after go-live. A real client, on the record, sharing real numbers with their sign-off. No borrowed numbers, no composite clients.
