Real businesses. Real judgment, built in.

The most complete proof of what we do. Convene is a seasonal, ingredient-led café, and its tools run through almost every part of it.

Accounts are sorted automatically, with an accountant signing off. The rota follows forecast covers. Stock is ordered from the till and the bookings. Marketing, hiring, menus and the paperwork all run through tools built around how the café actually works, and the team runs the day from one shared app.

The result is a small team with the back office of a far larger one.

A founder running several health businesses, with a fast-growing audience. The problem wasn’t output. It was that she was needed at every step: every post, edit and layout went through her.
