Consulting
A seasoned crew beside you: guided installation, first-run setup, industry fit, and adoption projects. Scoped work with clear deliverables. Consulting is optional paid people-time — not a license fee to run steakOS. The software stays free forever on steakos.org.
Engagement shapes
| Shape | Typical focus |
|---|---|
| Guided install | Prepare your host, database, and app layout; harden the first login; smoke-test that desks open |
| First-run configuration | Company profile, tax / VAT (sales tax) fields where relevant, and the desk subset you need for go-live |
| Adoption project | Move habits off spreadsheets or prior tools; fit process to a farm, workshop, restaurant, or shop of your size |
| Integration spike | Payments, messaging, or accounting hand-off — see also integrations and add-ons |
| Ongoing coaching | Retainer-style operator office hours when offered |

What we will not promise
- Product depth that is not actually available for your size tier (Bronze / Silver / Gold = starter → growing → large)
- Custody of your Bitcoin or passwords — keys stay yours
- That AI (computer helpers) may move money without a human yes
- Regulatory marks you did not independently obtain
We lean into what steakOS was built for: decentralized hosting on your gear, privacy for customer and stock data, and security / resilience suited to a small-business system — with AI in the foundation so suggestions see real desks and rules, then wait for your approve.
