Operators who build software

We run real businesses,
and build the software that runs them.

Milner AM builds custom web apps, customer portals and back-office systems for small businesses. We also own a local franchise, and we built the software to run it ourselves.

Services

What we build

Practical software for businesses that have outgrown spreadsheets, paper forms and tools that almost fit.

Web apps & customer portals

Online applications, bookings, customer accounts and self-service portals, built around how your business actually works.

Back-office & operations systems

Hiring, training, SOPs, inventory, checklists and reporting dashboards: the same kind of tools we run our own stores on.

Websites built to grow

Fast, secure websites built on the same foundation as our bigger systems, so adding bookings, applications or logins later never means starting over.

Every project comes with a care plan

Software isn't finished on launch day. Servers need updates, security fixes keep coming, and your business keeps changing. So everything we launch moves onto a monthly care plan. It's how we keep what we built for you fast, safe and working, and it means you always have the people who built it on call.

  • Hosting and uptime monitoring
  • Security and software updates
  • Regular backups
  • Small changes and fixes each month
  • A direct line to the people who built it
Any size

Start simple. Grow into custom.

Not every business needs a big system on day one. Start with what you need now, built properly, and add to it as you grow, without starting over.

  1. Step 1

    A website that's built to grow

    Fast, secure and yours, not a template you rent. Ready for bookings, applications or customer logins when you need them.

  2. Step 2

    Add the tools you're missing

    Online applications, bookings, customer accounts and forms that land in one place instead of five different apps.

  3. Step 3

    Run your business on it

    Back-office systems for hiring, training, inventory and reporting, like the Store Hub we run our own store on.

Honest advice, either way: if an off-the-shelf tool truly fits, we'll tell you. When it stops fitting, we're here.

Talk about a full system

Can't fund a big build up front?

Become a founding partner: a small setup fee instead of the full build, and a higher care plan to start. As other businesses start using the same system, your monthly price goes down.

Every build includes

  • Looks right on phones
  • Fast loading
  • SSL and security headers
  • Your domain, photos and data stay yours
  • A walkthrough at launch

Good to know

12-month term
Care plans start with 12 months (24 for custom software), then go month to month. It's what keeps build prices low.
Billing
Pay monthly, or yearly and get 2 months free. Your domain (about $10–20 a year) and business email are paid directly to their providers.
What's yours
Your domain, logo, photos, text and data. The design and code we build stay with us; ask if you'd like a buyout.
Extra work
$90 an hour, in 15-minute blocks. Unused plan time doesn't roll over.
Proof, not promises

Our work

We build for ourselves first. If a tool isn't good enough to run our own business on, we don't sell it to anyone else.

Software · Our own product

Store Hub

We own a local franchise and couldn't find operations software that fit a single-store owner, so we built our own. It's made to run our store day to day, and to serve other operators too.

What it handles

  • Hiring: public job applications, applicant tracking and printable QR hiring posters
  • Training & SOPs: a searchable library the whole team can open on a phone
  • Inventory, checklists and inspection packets
  • Daily reports and financial dashboards for the owner
  • Multiple stores and owners, each with their own logins and roles
Store Hub owner hub for a demo store: shortcuts to shift operations, inventory and training, and live indicators for trainees, open checklists, low stock and temperature alerts
The owner hub: is my store OK today?
Store Hub hiring tracker for a demo store: a hiring funnel and a list of sample applicants with their role, contact details, applied date and stage
Hiring: applications from a QR poster straight into a pipeline
Store Hub on a phone: shift checklists and a food-safety alert asking for a temperature recheck within two hours
On shift: checklists and food-safety alerts on the crew's phone

Process

How we work

Small team, direct communication, no surprises.

  1. Intro call

    A short conversation about your business, what's slowing you down, and whether we're a good fit.

  2. Scope & quote

    A written plan of what we'll build, in plain language: a fixed price for the build, the monthly care plan, and a timeline.

  3. Build with weekly demos

    You see working software every week and can steer it before anything is final.

  4. Launch & care plan

    We launch it, train your team, then keep it running on your care plan: hosting, updates, backups and small improvements.
