This Is For Established Service Businesses, Not Startups

We partner with owners who have real traction but feel constrained by operational complexity.

If your company has a team of 5+ people, is doing $500k+ annually, and growth has made the business harder to manage instead of easier, this is built for you.

If your business can’t yet support dedicated systems, leadership layers, or process adoption across a team, this is not the right fit.

The Operational Bottlenecks That Hit You Harder as You Grow

Manual Tasks Stealing Hundreds of Hours

Manual Tasks Stealing Hundreds of Hours

As you grow, small tasks multiply. What used to take minutes now eats hours - slowing your team down, increasing errors, and pulling focus away from high-value work that actually drives revenue.

Your Team Is Stretched Too Thin

Your Team Is Stretched Too Thin

When demand rises, your team ends up juggling too many tasks at once. Follow-ups slip, small delays stack up, and work turns reactive instead of systematic because workflows aren’t built to support scale.

Things Are Falling Through the Cracks

Things Are Falling Through the Cracks

Information lives across texts, CRMs, spreadsheets, inboxes, and apps that don’t sync cleanly. Your team wastes time chasing details, and as volume grows, mistakes and missed handoffs become unavoidable.

Your Business Feels Heavier Than It Should

Your Business Feels Heavier Than It Should

Every day relies on you remembering, approving, fixing, or checking something. You carry the weight of problems your systems should’ve already solved - leaving you exhausted, reactive, and stretched too thin to focus on real growth levers.

How We Engineer Operational Control

We create integrated operating systems that replace manual chaos with automated execution and real-time visibility so your business can grow without everything relying on you.

Workflow Automation

Workflow Automation

We automate repetitive tasks so your team can focus on the highest-value work that actually moves your business forward.

If a task happens the same way every time, it shouldn’t require hours of attention from your staff. We analyze your workflows, find the manual steps draining time and energy, and automate them end-to-end. The result is a cleaner, faster operation that runs predictably without constant human intervention.

AI Integration

AI Integration

AI doesn’t replace your team - it amplifies them. It makes every part of your business faster, sharper, and far more capable.

Most companies dabble in AI without ever connecting it to the real work happening inside their business. We integrate AI directly into your systems, data, and workflows so it can automate routine tasks, support your team’s decisions, and create leverage in places you didn’t know existed. Your entire operation becomes stronger because every tool and person gains superpowers.

Custom Software Development

Custom Software Development

Off-the-shelf tools can only take a business so far.

We build custom software designed around how your company operates so your systems support your growth instead of holding it back. Everything works together seamlessly to create a smoother operation that scales without complexity.

Custom Reporting Dashboards

Custom Reporting Dashboards

Growth requires clear visibility.

We build custom dashboards that give you a real-time view of what’s happening across your business so you can make confident decisions without chasing updates or relying on guesswork.

Dashin Simmons, Founder of Design Cafe

Founder of Design Cafe

Dashin Simmons is a Developer, Strategist, and Founder of Design Café, a company built to help service businesses operate at their fullest potential.

A self taught developer who built his first website at 13, Dashin spent years building websites and later designing custom automations, software, dashboards, and workflows for growing service businesses.

Working closely with these companies, he discovered the real constraint holding most organizations back was not talent, effort, or demand but broken internal systems. Manual processes, disconnected software, outdated spreadsheets, and a lack of visibility created unnecessary chaos that stalled growth and wasted payroll.

Design Café was built to solve that problem.

Today, Dashin helps service business owners clean up the chaos inside their operations and build the systems their growth actually needs.

Because growth without systems is not progress. It is pressure.
