Answer a few questions about how your business actually runs. You get a plan that names the tools to use, what each one costs, and the order to set them up — then a consultant at Dapols reads it and changes what does not fit you. $99 once, and $29 a month afterwards only if you want it kept current.
Underneath, this is the repeatable part of a forward-deployed engineer's job — the role AI labs send into a company to get one workflow working — sold as a product instead of a salary. Read the long version

$99 once
The workflow worth fixing first, the tools that run it with the date we last checked each price, the prompts and connectors, and the order to set it all up. We also design and build your website to your requirements, with a frontier AI model — Fable- and Mythos-class — up to 5 pages and 3 rounds of changes, ready in 24–48 hours, with the SEO basics set up so it can be found.
24–48 working hours
A person at Dapols reads your answers, swaps what does not suit your setup, drops what you already pay for, and writes the reasoning into your plan. You can keep asking them afterwards.
$29/month, optional
Prices move and tools change. Every Friday we re-check what is in your plan and tell you what to keep, test, switch, or cancel. Stop paying and you keep the plan.
Palantir invented the role; OpenAI and Anthropic scaled it. An FDE embeds with a customer and owns the gap between “AI exists” and “AI works here”. Three of the four things they do are knowledge work, and knowledge work productises. That is what you are buying.
Workflows, tools, and approvals in one clear view.

What Dapols does
What it does not do
We build your website, and we build it properly. What doesn't productise is ongoing engineering inside your own systems — anyone selling you that as a product is selling something. When you need it, you'll know, and we'll scope a pilot or tell you to hire.
See where the line isMost businesses buy isolated tools before defining the process, owner, baseline, approvals, or success metric. That creates software spend, not business value.
New AI tools launch every single week.
Prices and plans change constantly.
You're paying for tools you don't use.
No one tells you what's actually worth it.
This is a real plan, not a mock-up. Open any part of it and you're looking at the actual record we ship, drawn from the same 21 plans the questionnaire assigns from.
Counted across every plan we ship, not estimated:
Every plan starts with one workflow and the person who owns it — not a list of tools looking for a use.
Who it's for
Independent restaurants, cafés, and small food businesses.
What it covers
Fill more tables, answer diners instantly, and keep your socials buzzing — without hiring extra staff.
You're looking at the Restaurant & Café plan. It's public in full, free, with nothing held back — so you can judge the work before you spend anything.
What the paid setup adds is yours specifically: the stack rewritten around the tools and hours you actually have, a consultant reviewing it before it reaches you, and a consultation that answers from your plan rather than the generic one.
Pick the closest match and the example plan rebuilds. Everything below is real content from our plan library, with live prices from the tool catalog — your own plan is written from your answers, not looked up.
Team size picks which budget band we show here. The real questionnaire also asks what you can spend, what you already use, and what you want AI to take off your plate.

What a consultant changes
Real changes from our library, shown as examples. Yours depend on what you already pay for and how you work.

Build my actual planEach plan maps a useful workflow to exact tools, verified price evidence, prompts, skills, connectors, approvals, alternatives, and plain-English setup steps across four total-stack budgets. The questionnaire tells you which one is yours.

Your operating plan
The workflow, the stack, the prompts and the setup order, in one place you can act on.
An FDE's first week is spent finding the one process worth automating. Dapols ranks your workflows by impact, repetition, feasibility, readiness and risk — and tells you which to leave alone.
Then they choose a stack and defend it. You get the exact tools with the date we last verified each price, the prompts and agents, the MCP servers and connectors, the approval points, and what NOT to buy yet.
Software takes you to live, and a human reviews your plan before it reaches you. After that, if you want it kept honest as prices move and tools change, you can add the optional monthly subscription — about a month in, once you've actually used the plan.
You are not left alone with it. Open a consultation and a consultant at Dapols replies within 24–48 working hours.
Prices move and tools change. We re-check the stack in batches and date every check, so your plan stays true instead of quietly going stale.
Every plan starts with one workflow and connects the tools to an owner, baseline, target, setup path, human approvals, risks, and an honest total-stack budget.

Illustrative example — your actual plan and prices will differ.
Nobody browses a catalogue here. You answer seven questions, we assign the closest of our plans, and then a person rewrites it around the tools you already pay for, the hours you actually have, and the parts of the job you refuse to hand over.
Business type, team size, what you're trying to fix, what you already run, what you can spend, how much help you want. Two minutes, free, no card.
Not the one you happened to click. If nothing fits cleanly we tell you it's the closest rather than pretending — that gap is exactly what the paid customisation is for.
Tools swapped for ones you already own, steps added for your systems, picks removed that don't apply. Every change is reviewed by a consultant before it reaches you, and your consultation then answers from your version rather than the generic one.
What a customisation actually looks like
In the shelf plan
Set up a scheduling tool and connect it to your calendar.
In yours, after the questionnaire
You already run Square Appointments — keep it. Connect it to the review agent instead, and skip the scheduling tool entirely. That's $16/month you don't spend.
Illustrative example — your actual changes depend on your answers.
Answer the seven questionsA plan answers the general question. Your business will still throw specific ones at it — a step that doesn't match your setup, a price that moved, a tool you already pay for. That is what your consultation is for, and it is included.
A consultant at Dapols answers within 24–48 working hours.
Not instant, and we won't pretend otherwise. Every consultation is read properly and answered with a specific recommendation for your business, which takes longer than a bot and is worth more.
4 consultations a month, included with your plan
See what's includedDapols watches the evidence that matters to your stack—pricing, model, capability, and product changes—and turns it into dated, source-linked actions. That is what the optional monthly subscription is for — offered about a month after your setup, never bundled into it; stop it and you keep the plan, frozen at its last snapshot.
Updates land in dated batches, not whenever something happens to catch our eye.

You're paying for a tier you don't use
Compare the yearly cost of a hire against the AI tool stack that does the repetitive work.
This stack includes usage-based pricing, so the exact monthly cost depends on volume — see the live prices below.
This compares cost only, and deliberately understates hiring (it excludes recruiting, onboarding, equipment, software, and management overhead). An AI stack does specific tasks with your oversight — it doesn't replace judgment, relationships, or accountability. The plan is a one-time cost added to year one.

See if this is your planA curated catalog with real prices — no hype, no hundred-tool dumps. Want a shortlist for your business? Take the 2-minute quiz.
Recommendations are only worth something if you can see the rules behind them. These are ours, and each one links to the page where we show our working.
The ladder covers one workflow for one business. When the scope is bigger than that — several workflows, unusual systems, an integration that needs a person rather than a plan — it has to be quoted, not listed.
Describe the scope and we'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and what it would take. No price list, because a scope like this doesn't have one.
Practical guides on choosing AI tools, saving money, and keeping your stack sharp.
The questionnaire is free and shows you which plan we'd assign. A one-time payment then unlocks that plan, customized to your answers and human reviewed, and it also covers a website we design and build for you — up to 5 pages, up to 3 revision rounds, as a real Next.js site rather than a template. Both are yours to keep — nothing continues after that payment and we don't keep your card for a later charge. About a month in we'll ask whether you want an optional monthly subscription that keeps the plan current as prices and tools change; you start it, and you can stop it without losing the plan. Current prices are on the pricing page.
Especially for you. Dapols speaks in plain business language — save time, reduce software waste, get more leads — and recommends tools that are easy to start with. Every plan is written so a non-technical owner can follow it, and a human reviews yours before it reaches you.
We score business impact, repetition, feasibility, readiness, and risk; then match the workflow against a curated catalog, your existing systems, and your total stack budget. We show assumptions, alternatives, and what not to buy yet.
Keeping it current is the optional subscription, offered about a month after your setup rather than bundled into it. While it is live we track relevant pricing, model, and product changes and turn them into keep, test, switch, downgrade, or cancel recommendations. We date every evidence check and link to the source; vendors remain the final source of truth. Stop paying and you keep the plan, frozen at its last snapshot.
The plan we assign is written so a non-technical owner can follow it, and a human reviews it before it reaches you. If the scope is bigger than a plan — several workflows, unusual systems, an integration that needs a person — describe it on the contact page and we'll tell you honestly whether we can help. We never ask for credentials in a public form or promise autonomous access to sensitive systems.
No. We only surface updates that actually matter for your business, budget, and current tools.
Yes. Every plan includes consultation: the AI consultant answers instantly from your own plan and its verified prices, and a consultant at Dapols reviews open questions and replies within 24–48 working hours. Raise anything there — a tool that isn't working for you, a swap you're considering, a step you're stuck on.
Free, practical, model-agnostic, and built for non-technical businesses.
