AI Integration and Business Automation

The work is eating hours that should be producing revenue.
AI on a slide is not automation.

We put AI on the work that is eating hours, not on a slide titled innovation. Time back, fewer dropped balls, tighter operations.

Who You Are Actually Talking To

Me. Not a sales representative.

Joshua Paul Hooks built and sold companies starting from a restored car and a factory willing to send prototypes. He has served as CEO of a national EV company, brought foreign manufacturers into the US market, and holds ownership across food and beverage, manufacturing, consumer products, and technology.

When you qualify for a session, you are talking to him. Not a representative working from a script.

What We Actually Do

The deliverable is automation on the work that is actually eating hours.

Week 1–2

Hour map. Which tasks are eating owner and staff time, and which are allowed to stay human.

Week 2–6

Automations and AI on those tasks only. Measured in hours returned and errors not repeated.

Days 45–90

Operating rules so the tools still work when the person who set them up is not in the room.

Proof

Station House BBQ. Multi-unit brand, operated in house.

The Situation

A restaurant brand that needed catering and distribution growth without pulling the founder off the floor.

What We Built

IBG built the growth plan, expanded reach, and took the marketing and systems load off the restaurants. Station House is an IBG-owned brand, built and operated in house.

The Result

Catering and distribution expanded while the founder stayed on the restaurants. Material lift in reach and revenue.

Questions Operators Actually Ask

Including the number.

The Operator Session is $1,250 of Joshua's advisory time at no cost to you. If we work together after that, engagements are scoped to the constraint, not a package. Automation work is typically a 60-to-90-day install on a named set of workflows. Project retainers typically start in the mid five figures. Longer operating partnerships are quoted after the session. We will give you the number that fits your situation in the room. Equity is a separate conversation and is never required.

No. We will name the hours, put tools on those hours, and leave the rest alone. Company-wide AI programs are how money disappears.

Only the tasks eating owner and staff time. Week one is an hour map. Tools go on those tasks. Everything else stays human on purpose.

Hours returned and errors that do not repeat. If the workflow dies when the person who set it up leaves the room, it is not done.

We find the businesses we want to work with in conversations, not in inboxes. Some of these sessions turn into engagements. Most do not, and we are fine with that. Session value is $1,250 of Joshua’s advisory time. No cost to you.
