Let the Ledger Earn the Number

Ted Taylor says ChatGPT Work cut his monthly cash reconciliation from about three hours to five to ten minutes. He runs three restaurants. That’s his account in an OpenAI customer story, not a clock on your books.

If you try it, pull last month’s closed records. Time the match list, the human check, and the fixes. Keep the unmatched transactions visible. Repeat next month; the awkward exception is usually where the time goes.

Taylor also estimates better scheduling could free up $50,000 to $100,000 a year across his stores. Don’t put that in the savings column yet. Write it beside the work still to be tested. Let the ledger earn the number.
