The situation
No system, no process.
The manager was handwriting every shift on a piece of paper. Names, times, who showed up. Nobody could see the day without walking to the kitchen, and nothing was recorded anywhere a second person could find it.

A check-in app the whole crew can use without a login.
The Good Job Happy Co. employs adults with autism and intellectual disabilities making dog treats. Shift check-in was handwritten by the manager. We built an app where the crew taps their own photo to clock in, and an admin console where the Kitchen Lead runs it.

What we did
Built around the people using it.
- Mapped the shift, from walking in to walking out, before any software.
- Built a check-in screen with one rule: tap your photo, you're in. No usernames, no passwords.
- Built an admin console with private logins where the Kitchen Lead manages the crew, sees who's working, and reviews shift times.
- Added high fives so the team can recognize each other on the spot.
- Built the public site and online ordering with Stripe, plus the branding and print, so the whole operation launched together.
What changed
Everyone clocks in. Nobody writes it down.
Twenty-two crew members check in by tapping their own face. Shift times are recorded without anyone handwriting them, and the Kitchen Lead runs the day from the console instead of a clipboard.
“Andy took the time to understand how we work and what we needed before building anything. The result was an app that fits our business, not something we have to change our process to use. He listened, worked through the details with us, and kept things simple. It felt like having someone on our team, not just hiring someone to build an app.”
Tricia Jezierny, Owner, The Good Job Happy Co.

Recruiting and staffing
A hiring process built before the first applicant.
They were starting from zero, so they could get it right from the start. We helped them map applicant flow, where AI screening fits, and how candidates get rated and followed up, all before the first resume came in.

The founders knew recruiting. They needed the operating side ready on day one. We helped them set up sourcing, vetting, and internal process early so they could spend their time on clients.

Most of the work still lived on paper, which made speed, consistency, and visibility harder than they needed to be. We mapped the move in phases and helped them through the shift to digital systems.
