Algonix
We automate the work that eats your week.
A London studio for busy owners and founders. From restaurant phone lines to salon diaries to a product that needs a tech lead, we turn the work that drains you into systems that quietly run themselves. If competitors automate and you stay manual, you pay in speed, cost, and growth.
Teams our founders have built with, and clients we ship for
How the system fits together
We turn scattered busywork into a quiet source of truth — and deliver it across your business.
Phone, WhatsApp, till, spreadsheet. Algonix sits in the middle, keeps the ops accurate, and pushes the result where your team already works.

Outcomes, not buzzwords
Quiet systems London owners actually run. Flexible across the tools you already have.
Algonix recovers +£3.2k/mo in phone orders, cuts 62% of salon no-shows, hands back 12 hrs/wk from bookkeeping, ships ~1 week for two live automations, starts at £0 until you see it running, and reaches 15+ businesses & founders shipped with.
Where we help
Two kinds of people we work with.
Same promise either way: we take the hard technical work off your plate, and you keep the outcome.
For restaurants, salons & shops
Get the busywork off your plate
Missed phone orders. A diary that never fills itself. Sundays lost to invoices. We quietly automate those 1–3 jobs that eat your week, so you can run the floor, not the software.
- Phone orders answered and paid, without you picking up
- Bookings, deposits and reminders that cut no-shows
- Invoices and bookkeeping that mostly do themselves
- Nothing new to learn. It runs on tools you already use
A senior tech lead, without hiring one
You have an MVP or a live product, and no spare hours to keep it reliable. We become the technical side of your company: roadmap, shipping, fixes, while you focus on customers and growth.
- Someone senior owns the tech decisions
- Weekly shipping, without building a whole engineering team
- Monitoring and fixes handled for you
- One short weekly call to set priorities

STA Soho trattoriaLocal business
The restaurant that stopped missing phone orders
A busy Soho Italian was losing dinner-rush phone orders every night because staff were too slammed to answer. We gave them an AI phone agent that takes orders, answers questions, and collects payment. No new hardware, no app for customers to download.

Cutting a salon’s no-shows by 62% with automated booking
A six-chair Shoreditch salon ran bookings through Instagram DMs and a paper diary. We automated booking, deposits, and reminders over WhatsApp. No app, no per-booking software fee. And no-shows fell by nearly two-thirds.

Giving an independent retailer 12 hours a week back from bookkeeping
A two-site homeware retailer near Islington was drowning in supplier invoices, till reconciliation, and a month-end close that ate a working week. We automated invoice capture, matching, and reconciliation into their accounting software. No accountant hours added.

Operators and founders
Credible people. Real weeks saved.
London owners we automate for, founders we lead tech for, and teams our studio has shipped with before Algonix had a name.
“I used to spend my breaks answering DMs and half of Sunday sorting the diary. Now clients book themselves in, pay the deposit, and actually show up. I do hair now, not admin.”

“Fridays used to mean the phone ringing out while we plated mains. Now every call gets answered, the order is on the ticket rail, and it is already paid. It just works.”

“Sunday nights were invoices and spreadsheets. Now they are not. My accountant asked what changed. The books arrive reconciled.”

Owner · North London retailer
“We got senior technical judgement on every decision without hiring a full-time CTO we could not afford. The AI stopped failing, billing went live, and we finally ship on a schedule.”

Common questions
Free AI onboarding & London automation FAQs
Plain-English answers about cost, speed, technical skill, and what happens after the two free automations.
I’m not technical at all. Is that a problem?
No. Algonix is built for non-technical London business owners. We automate phone orders, WhatsApp bookings, diaries, and bookkeeping on tools you already use: your existing phone number, WhatsApp, till, or spreadsheet. You do not need to learn a new dashboard, and every decision is explained in plain English.
What does free AI onboarding include?
Free AI onboarding with Algonix includes an NDA and agreement with no payment, a discovery of how your restaurant, salon, or shop actually runs, onboarding of AI tools you choose, and two live business automations delivered in about one week. You also get a plain-English metrics report plus free consultation and maintenance on those two automations.
What happens after the two free automations?
The two free automations keep running with free maintenance from Algonix. If you want more workflows, deeper integrations, or fractional CTO support for a product, we scope that as separate fixed-price work. There is no pressure and no surprise fees after onboarding.
What does paid work cost after onboarding?
Paid work after free AI onboarding is fixed-price and agreed before we build. Algonix scopes automations to pay for themselves, typically costing less per month than the missed phone orders, no-shows, platform commissions, or admin hours they replace for London restaurants, salons, and shops.
How fast will I see results?
Most clients see results within about one week: free AI onboarding ships two automations in that window. Broader builds usually go live in two to four weeks. You will notice answered calls, filled diaries, or invoices posting themselves, and Algonix sends a plain-English outcome summary every week.
What if something breaks?
Algonix monitors every system we build and gets alerted before most clients notice. Every automation has a manual fallback, so if the internet fails your phone still rings the old way. You also get a real human engineer to call, not a ticket queue.
I’m a founder with a product, not a shop. Do you do that too?
Yes. Alongside London small-business automation, Algonix offers fractional CTO services for founders. We own the technical side end to end: roadmap, shipping, monitoring, and fixes, so you can focus on customers and growth. You can start on the same free call as local businesses.
Do you automate restaurant phone orders and salon bookings in London?
Yes. Algonix specialises in London restaurant phone-order automation, salon and barbershop booking and deposit reminders, and shop bookkeeping automation across central and Greater London, including Soho, Shoreditch, Camden, and Islington. Systems run on your existing phone line and tools with no new app for customers.
