the software that closes 120 restaurants' books every night
Your piece on the Jackson Heights bakery that replaced its accountant with a spreadsheet looked at what breaks when a trusted human role goes. Ledgerline raises the same question in Queens restaurants: it reads point-of-sale and vendor invoices and closes the books every night, so owners stop paying $600 a month for a bookkeeper who is two weeks behind.

I'm Maya Ortiz, co-founder. We launched nightly close for 120 Brooklyn and Queens restaurants this month; average close time fell from six hours a week to zero. For a longer piece I can offer the founder, a customer, and the close data. Could I send a one-page summary?

Maya

If this is not your beat, reply 'no thanks' and I will not follow up.

    Sure, send the one-paragraph brief. Do you have an owner I could call?

    Brief attached below. Rosa Delgado runs three locations in Bushwick and is free Thursday afternoon; her number is in the brief.

For the restaurant, the shop, the seed-stage founder: businesses a reporter would cover if they knew you existed.
