Original caption

What started as a neighborhood surf school has grown into a cornerstone of the Rockaway Beach community. Since launching Locals Surf School in 2012, Mike and Mike have expanded to include the Locals Collective coffee shop and Connolly’s, a beloved neighborhood bar and music venue. Along the way, ChatGPT has become their always-available advisor, helping them manage all three businesses. They use it to: - Forecast surf conditions and build instructor schedules - Manage payroll, inventory, and emails - Navigate permits and local regulations - Solve operational challenges across all three businesses The best part? By handling the day-to-day operational work, ChatGPT gives Mike and Mike more time to focus on their customers and community.
