Hearthline

A membership for neighborhood dining rooms

Ten thousand a month, and almost nobody at the desk.

Seventy-six cafes and dining rooms pay Hearthline to keep their month: the posts, the letters, the replies. Five machines do that work. You keep 3.6 hours a week.

What actually runs

Five machines. Switch any of them off in the books and the hours, the churn, and the money move the same day.

  1. 01

    Billing desk

    Charges every anniversary and retries the card once. About 97.5% of the book lands.

  2. 02

    Kitchen

    Drafts every kit on the 25th from the voice card. One editor spends eight hours polishing.

  3. 03

    Porch

    The site, a short monthly essay, and owners telling owners. About 2.4 new rooms, before ads.

  4. 04

    Reply bench

    Answers reviews and the easy inbox. You only see what it flagged.

  5. 05

    Win-back

    A two-note sequence when someone clicks cancel. It keeps a share of them.

The barley porridge is back on Mondays. Brown sugar stays on the side.

A Monday post for Juniper Cafe, already out the door. The rest of the month is waiting on a yes. Open the kit.

The week you actually work

With every machine on. The other one hundred and sixty-four hours, the desk does not need you.

  1. Tuesday

    40 min

    The exception queue. Only the replies the bench was unsure about.

  2. Thursday

    40 min

    Two calls the porch booked. Some weeks the calendar is empty.

  3. Friday

    25 min

    Spot-check next month’s kits before they schedule themselves.

  4. The rest

    A glance

    Billing retries, win-backs, and the posts going out. You do not open them.

This is a company you can walk through: the offer, the kit a room receives, and the books underneath. It is not a bank login. The roster is the operating book, and it is set so the month clears ten thousand if you leave the system alone.
