Restaurants · Fort Lauderdale and Broward

The work your team still does by hand every week. Automated.

I am a developer in Fort Lauderdale. I built the systems behind Seafood Kings: the supplier invoice lands, the price list and the menu update the same day, outdated prices come off on their own, and nobody types a number. I build the same for your restaurant, and you see it running before you pay.

Call or text (754) 325-1555. Or email lavar@lavarharper.com with a photo of your last supplier invoice. I will show you what the system does with it.

What I automate

Pick the one task that eats the most hours. Start there.

Every one of these is a job a person is doing right now at a laptop after close. Each one is built on top of what you already run, not a new app your staff has to learn.

01 · MARGINSupplier invoice to price listSnap the invoice. The system reads every line, applies your markup rules, and updates your prices. When shrimp goes up on Tuesday, your menu knows on Tuesday.
Built for Seafood Kings. Invoice photo in, prices.json out, site redeployed. Zero hand entry.
02 · MENUOne menu, updated everywhereChange a price or 86 an item once. Your website, Google Business Profile, and third-party listings follow. No more three different menus online.
03 · AFTER HOURSCatering and event questions answered at 11pmA chat assistant on your site that knows your menu, your minimums, your lead times, and your delivery zone. It answers, collects the details, and books the call or the tasting.
The assistant on my own homepage books real calls this way. Try it.
04 · REPEAT BUSINESSBirthday, anniversary, and win-back campaignsGuests who have not been in for 60 days get a text or email in your voice with a reason to come back. Birthdays get a note the week before. Runs on its own.
05 · REVIEWSReview requests that go out on timeAfter pickup or a catering job, the guest gets one message with a direct link to leave a Google review. Good reviews go public. Problems come to you first.
06 · THE SITEA website that sells, not a templateMenu built to sell, photography, online ordering paths, catering inquiry flow, local SEO. Seafood Kings runs cooked pickup, raw retail, wholesale, and catering on one site.
Proof

Seafood Kings, Fort Lauderdale. Live right now.

A cooked seafood vendor and raw seafood retailer. Two businesses, one site, and a pricing system that runs itself. I built it end to end.

Invoice in. Prices out. Nobody types a number.

Supplier invoices arrive as photos. The system reads every line item, applies the markup rules the owner set once, writes the new price list, and pushes the live site. The menu customers see matches what the fish cost this week, not last month.

Full disclosure: Seafood Kings is my own spot. That is why I built this first, and why I know exactly which hours it gives back.

How it works

From a 15-minute call to running in your restaurant.

The call15 minutes. You tell me the one task that eats the most time. I tell you exactly how I would automate it and what it costs, flat, in writing.
The mockBefore you commit, you see it working on your real data: your invoice, your menu, your questions. If it does not do the job, you walk.
The buildAbout a week for a single automation. I build it on top of what you already run. Your staff keeps the tools they know.
Live and ownedIt runs. You own it: the code, the accounts, the data. Optional monthly care keeps it sharp as suppliers, prices, and menus change.

Straight answers

What you are actually buying.

You own everythingThe code, the accounts, the data, the domain. Nothing is locked to me. If we part ways, it keeps running and you have the handoff docs.
Your data stays yoursPrices, guest lists, and sales numbers live in accounts you control. The SI vendors I use do not train on API traffic. Nobody else sees your margins.
Tested before a customer sees itAnything that talks to your guests gets attacked before it goes live: wrong prices, off-menu requests, people trying to break it. I ran 15 attacks against my own assistant before it spoke to a visitor.
One person, start to finishThe developer you talk to on the call is the one who builds it and the one who picks up when something changes. No agency handoff, no ticket queue.
Pricing

Questions restaurant owners ask

Answered straight.

My supplier sends invoices as a photo or a PDF. Can it read those?

Yes. That is exactly how Seafood Kings works today. The invoice comes in as a photo, every line gets read and matched to a menu item, and the markup rules do the rest. Handwritten adjustments and multi-page PDFs are fine. Anything it cannot match with confidence gets flagged for you instead of guessed.

Does it touch my POS?

Only if you want it to. Most first builds sit beside your POS: they update your website, Google Business Profile, and third-party menus, and send the campaigns. Writing prices into Toast, Square, or Clover is a second step once you trust the system, and it runs through their official integrations.

What happens when it gets a price wrong?

You set the rules once, and anything outside them gets held for your approval instead of published. You also get a plain summary of every change before it goes live, so a bad invoice scan never becomes a bad menu.

Will the after-hours assistant say something it should not?

It only knows what you give it: your menu, minimums, lead times, delivery zone, and policies. Anything outside that, it collects the guest's details and hands off to you. Before it goes live, I run an attack battery against it: off-menu orders, fake discounts, people trying to make it promise things. It has to pass every one.

How is this different from the automations my POS already offers?

Those are built for the average restaurant. Yours matches how your restaurant actually runs: your suppliers, your markup, your voice, your regulars. You are not configuring someone else's menu of features. You are getting the one thing you asked for, built the way you do it.

Do you work outside Fort Lauderdale?

Yes. Everything is built and handed off remotely, with a live walkthrough on video. Broward and South Florida get the option of me showing up in person.

What do you need from me to start?

Fifteen minutes on a call and one real example: last week's invoice, your current menu, or the last catering question that went unanswered. I build the mock from that.

3 spots open this month

Send me your last supplier invoice. I will show you what the system does with it.

Fifteen minutes. No pitch deck. You leave with a plan and a flat price either way.
