Some tools are simply the right ones for the job. These stay exactly where they are, and we make everything around them work better.

Point-of-sale: Nothing open-source does this job well enough to trust with your register. The POS stays; we build everything around it — the menu, the ordering page, the profile.
Table reservations: Kept and linked from the site. We never proxy a booking flow we do not run.
Field service and dispatch: Untouched. We send it leads from the site and the Google profile.
Accounting: Untouched. It gets clean exports, nothing more.
MLS and IDX feeds: The feed is always a paid line — $60–$149 a month, plus about $30 per extra MLS. We host the site it renders into.
Transaction management: Kept. It is tied to your brokerage and your compliance file; nothing free does that job.
Email hosting Partial: We replace Drive, Docs, Dropbox and Box with Nextcloud and Collabora. The mailbox stays with a mail provider — we do not run mail servers.
Online ordering Partial: We take the commission-free pickup page. Delivery marketplaces and kitchen tickets stay on the POS.
Review and messaging tools Partial: We replace the web chat, shared inbox and review widget. Google offers no review-management API, and SMS review requests need carrier registration — so we replace the half we can and tell you which half that is.
Lead marketplaces: Worn down by a better profile and city pages over a few quarters — not by software.
Business phone and SMS: Kept. Your number and your texting stay with a phone provider.

The ones we share the job with.

With some tools we take over part of the job and the vendor keeps the rest. You'll know which part is which before you pay anything.

Online ordering. We take the commission-free pickup page on your own domain. Delivery marketplaces and kitchen tickets stay on the point-of-sale.
Review and messaging tools. We replace the web chat, the shared inbox and the review widget. Google offers no review-management API, and SMS review requests need carrier registration — so half of that job stays where it is.
IDX sites. The site moves to your domain. The feed itself is always a paid line — $60–$149 a month, plus about $30 per extra MLS.
Automation. Activepieces replaces most of what a Zapier plan does. The connectors nobody has built yet, it does not.
