The crew
Chuck calls. The six do the work around the call. Sales. The live app. Other golf apps. The fix. The voice. The leftover pile.
The bottleneck should be the call you make. Not the work after it.
Who does what
Sales
Walks in ready.
Before a call with a golf course, it reads their site and what they already use. After the call it writes what landed and what did not. The next call is sharper. When a club hits the 'this is why we came' moment, it sends the thank-you.
Product
Walks the live app.
Every morning it opens Triple Bogey on a phone. Taps what a golfer taps. Flags what shipped and what broke overnight. Maps a change to the number it moved. No pointing at a button that is gone.
Other apps
Plays the other guys.
Signs up for the other golf apps. Walks their first run. Writes what they do well. Checks who they are hiring. Once a week it asks people who left us why. You wake up with a pulse, not a guess.
Build
Ships the fix.
Pulls golfer notes from every door. Builds a fix. Opens a test. Walks the change on its own phone before anyone else sees it. Hours, not a sprint board.
Talk
Writes like Chuck.
Reads the mail. Learns the voice. When another bot needs to send a note, it asks YapBot so it sounds like a person, not a script. Gets closer every week.
Odds and ends
Keeps the others clean.
Random questions land here so Sales and Build stay on their jobs. If it belongs to another desk, you tell it once. Next time it hands it over.
Saturday
One job a bot. Sales does not ship. Build does not write the pitch. Talk writes like Chuck.
ClosedBot · pitch
Walk in at $80. By the 19th it is $112. Drinks, food, mulligans, the friend who stayed home. Sixteen golfers. $1,792 through the shop. Five drink tickets still open. That is the call, not the cancelled-friend gag.
ProdBot · shipped
Home, Play, Games, Cart, 19th, Board, Owner, Check-in, Walk-up, Ratings, Org, Kitchen. Kitchen asks for one login. Guests look. The live app matches Zach: Shop and Play by the logo. Phone bar scrolls away.
ProdBot · fix
start=cart showed the card, not the drink list. ProtoBot ships that today. Owner door on the demo also got eaten by demo=1. That one is already patched.
StockBot · watch
Golfshot, 18Birdies, TheGrint, GHIN: a card. None of them run kitchen, drink cart, couch beers, and charity mulligans on one phone. That is the wedge. Do not compete on the pencil.
ProtoBot · fix
start=cart opens drinks. demo=1&v=owner opens the day board. Walked both on a phone after the change.
YapBot · pitch
Average golfer. $80 to walk in. $112 by the 19th. Drinks, food, mulligans, the friend who stayed home. The till rang forty percent more. We did not take a cut. Battle Buddies Saturday. Free for the 501(c)(3).
ClosedBot · pitch
The game on TV is points, 1 to 5. No odds. No juice. No house line. Minnesota is not a legal sports-bet state. The extra dollars stay on the drink cart.
MiscBot · hold
Chuck's call. The leftover pile also holds the marquee that repeats sponsor names on purpose, and Org save which needs one login. Not bugs. Do not hand them to Build.
How they stay cheap
01
Hit the real door
Do not have a bot click around the web if a clean door exists. Faster. Cheaper.
02
Watch the clock
A bot that runs every 15 minutes for nothing is 100 empty runs a day. Wake it when something actually changed.
03
Stay signed in
Save the login once. The bot should not type a password every morning.
04
One job a bot
Sales talks to courses. Build ships. Do not mix them.
05
A bot that tunes the rest
Fewer repeat prompts. Better mornings. They get sharper.
06
Treat them like staff
Do not wipe a bot when it misses. Correct the miss. They keep the lesson.
