An operating brief
More than ten sites since 2022. One view of the sales, permits and crew behind every one.
Good systems are assembled, not bought.
We assemble yours.
Frankenstein is an AI studio in Manila. We build {{ productName }}, an AI-native ERP, into the way your business already runs.
Most ERPs promise to run everything, then do too little of it well enough for how businesses in the Philippines actually work. Every {{ productName }} build is fitted to your processes and SOPs.
It connects systems that were never designed to talk to each other, from your POS and accounting to payroll and group chats. Its AI handles the routine work across all of it.
One record of the whole business. When your team shares a supplier bill, a photo from the floor or a message thread, {{ productName }} files it where it belongs.
We assemble the system around AI from the companies that make it. We do not build that AI, and we say plainly where it will not help.
{{ productName }} is the base we run our own studio on. Your system starts from that same base, and we add only the parts your operation needs.
This is your operation as it reads from the outside. The details are yours to sharpen.
Cooper's began in April 2022 as a counter inside the Hai Chix branch at Estancia. More than ten sites have opened since, and the latest moved into larger formats: SM Megamall, a standalone cafe on High Street South in BGC, and TriNoma.
Specialty coffee with crepes, sandwiches and pastries, plus house beans by the bag and a cold brew concentrate in the making. Away from the stores, an events line takes coffee carts to the customer.
Seven sites opened outside Hai Chix, from a kiosk at One Ayala to mall stores and a standalone cafe in BGC. The rest opened as counters inside Hai Chix restaurants, and events sell away from any store.
Cooper's and Hai Chix & Steaks share more than sites. The Hai Chix menu carries “Coffee by Coopers”, the counters inside its restaurants list its phone numbers, and in May a qualifying Hai Chix receipt at Westgate earned a free drink at Cooper's.
Customers have at least nine ways to reach Cooper's, counting only public pages. A single event inquiry can start in the inbox or on any of three social accounts.
The three we would open with, and a sample of what follows. You know your floor better than anyone; tick what rings true.

What would the right system let you do that you can't today?
More than ten sites since 2022, from a kiosk to a standalone cafe. How does the work of running them grow with each one that opens?
Cooper's has opened in seven cities, and every site carries its own permits, crew health certificates and lease, each with its own dates. Where is that full list kept, and who sees what lapses next?
Card, QR and delivery payouts land anywhere from a day to a week later, each net of its own fees. How long does matching every site's day to the bank take, and how far behind does it run?
Counters inside Hai Chix, “Coffee by Coopers” on its menu, a free drink on a Hai Chix receipt. What does each brand charge the other, and where does each site's own P&L live today?
The same croissants and cakes sell across your sites and on the Hai Chix menu. How does what was left at closing shape each site's par for the next day?
When the price of beans, milk or cups moves, how does the cost of every drink and every bag on the shelf get worked out again?
A site needs a repair, a supplier bill falls due, a crew member asks for a cash advance. How does each request reach whoever signs, and how many days does it wait?
An event inquiry lands in a DM on a Saturday night. How does it become a quote, a deposit and a cart stocked and staffed from a store?
Whichever you tick, the working session starts there.

Reading
Pastry here is under a usual week. Croissants sold out on three days, which points to a par set too low.
Cooper's Coffee Haus on {{ productName }} · sample data shown
Your operation mapped onto it, nothing replaced, everything connected.
One connector per source
One record of the whole business
Matches every card, QR and delivery payout to each site's POS day, gross to net, routes each payment request to whoever signs, and keeps each brand's P&L by site.
Keeps the cost of every drink and every bag current as supplier prices move, sets each site's pastry par from what sold and what was left, and drafts each site's orders from what it needs.
Keeps each site's permits, certificates and lease with their dates, gives every new site its opening checklist, and carries each event from inquiry to deposit to cart.

Where your team works
We look forward to speaking.
One hour with your operations lead, starting from the eight questions on sheet four. Wherever the real pains turn out to be, that's what we build first.
We prove it on one workflow first. If it doesn't hold up on your floor, you walk away with the process maps we drew.
