Claude Code for Business: How I Run My Restaurant and Agency

🧰 Free starter kit (the instruction file from the video): https://aashowait.com/?src=yt ➡️ If this is your first video: I'm Ahmed. I run a restaurant in Scarborough and I'm CTO of a marketing agency that works with 100+ restaurants. This channel shows exactly how I use AI to run both. I typed one question, and Claude pulled every expense this week that's still missing a receipt. That's how I do the books for my restaurant, and it's the same AI stack that runs my agency. In this full tour of how I use Claude Code for business, I show you the whole setup: one folder, one instruction file, the connectors and the skills I use to run Monasaba (my restaurant in Scarborough) and THINKNBOX (an agency working with 100+ restaurants). No coding. I don't write the code, the AI does. How to use the kit: put both files in one folder, open it in Claude Code or Codex and type "set me up". It asks you about 10 questions and writes the file for you. 🔗 TOOLS IN THIS VIDEO Claude Code: https://claude.com/product/claude-code Codex (ChatGPT): https://openai.com/codex/ Obsidian (notes and memory across my machines): https://obsidian.md ⏱️ CHAPTERS 0:00 One question, every missing receipt 0:12 One AI stack for a restaurant and an agency 1:24 Foundation 1: chatbot vs agent 2:29 How the whole stack is laid out 3:09 Foundation 2: the instruction file (CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md) 5:04 Foundation 3: connectors 5:26 API keys, without the fear 7:03 Layer 1: Toast, QuickBooks, Google, all connected 7:32 Real example: a Google Ads campaign in 2 minutes 8:36 Layer 2: skills 9:48 Monthly client reports 10:39 Layer 3: the restaurant (books, cash, training) 11:55 Layer 4: the agency 12:58 Pro tip: Mac mini + Obsidian 13:41 It's not perfect: when things break 14:22 Your turn: how I'd start 15:48 The whole system in one sentence 16:07 Next episode It's not set-and-forget.
