Café owner. Operator. Your digital partner.
I run a café, too.
I know what
this takes.
Now in my sixth year running a Chicago café, I’m rebranding Aglaïa as Macro³ · Performance Kitchen while keeping the business moving. I’ve worked through the same digital challenges you’re facing—and can help you save time, avoid costly detours, and put your resources where they matter.
From your website and online ordering to Google, social media, and the shop itself: let’s make it all work together.

How I help
The things that keep
slipping down your list.
You shouldn't need to become a tech expert to keep your café's online presence working. Start with the problem that's getting in your way.
Ordering without the runaround
Help customers find your direct ordering option and keep the details consistent.
- Direct ordering setup & connections
- Menu and modifier updates
- Consistency across existing platforms
One business. One clear identity.
Digital alignment means customers recognize the same business online and when they walk through your door.
- Consistent branding across your website, social media & Google
- Photos, menus, hours & messaging that match your shop
- Updates coordinated across customer touchpoints
Digital alignment
Look like you.
Everywhere customers find you.
Your brick-and-mortar business is the starting point. Your online presence should reflect the atmosphere, food, service, and personality customers experience in person.
We’ll review your website, social profiles, Google listing, and customer-facing materials together—then identify mismatched names, outdated photos, inconsistent menus, or messaging that no longer fits. The goal is a recognizable, accurate experience from the first search to the front door.
Operator first. Consultant second.
I know the work
behind the counter.
I'm Jesse, a Chicago café owner now in my sixth year of operation. I'm in the middle of a full rebrand from Aglaïa Coffee and Tea Company to Macro³ · Performance Kitchen—while continuing to run the business.
I know what that demands: aligning the brand, website, menus, ordering systems, business listings, and the experience inside the shop. I wish I'd had someone to help me connect all those pieces. Having worked through them myself, I know where to start, what to prioritize, and which pitfalls to avoid—so I can help you save time and use your resources more effectively.
Before that, I spent 16 years with Toyota, mostly on the Lexus side, in field sales, dealer operations, and merchandising. Now I'm bringing those two chapters together to help other independent owners.

A few useful answers
Do I need to change my POS or ordering provider?
Not necessarily. We'll look at your current setup first. Any replacement tools, subscriptions, or fees would be discussed before you commit.
What does it cost?
The initial assessment is free. Paid work is quoted based on the scope: a focused fix, a new website, or ongoing maintenance. Third-party software and advertising costs are separate and require your approval.
Can you work with businesses outside Chicago?
Yes. Digital setup and maintenance can be handled remotely. We'll agree on access and the work involved before starting.
Can you guarantee more sales or top Google rankings?
No. The focus is on making your online presence accurate, usable, and easier to order from. Sales and search placement depend on many factors; neither is guaranteed.
