Apex Receptionist — after-hours phone + SMS that books the next open slot on one shared book. Fake-shop demo only. Never their live line. Never Fuller.
Shop closed. Call still comes in. We pick up in the shop’s name, take name / address / what’s broken, book the next open window, text the owner a recap. One book. Hours in AM/PM from their site.
Independent local shops that still take jobs by phone. Owner / GM / ops named on the official site. Easier yes: HVAC, plumbing, auto. Harder: restaurants still on the phone (no live OT / Resy / Tock / SevenRooms). Law firm vertical (Hayes & Chen) is intake-callback, not legal advice.
No free trial until Barry says. No charges without morning yes. Stripe on the confirmation card is sketched, not live.
Email-first. One-to-one from Barry’s Gmail after Legal PASS and after Barry says send for a named batch. Small batch. Default 3 looks. Phone-only shops are KEEP, parked — not a drop.
One extra completed job pays the month. Year-1 without a closer is 15–25 shops, not 84. 84 × $199 ≈ $200k ARR is the path, not a forecast.
Never Fuller. Demo +1 (650) 476-2005 only. Canonical: /projects/ai-assistance/prd/
