Ted Taylor says monthly cash matching fell from three hours to 5–10 minutes and menu repricing from five days to 1–2 hours.

OpenAI published a customer story about Ted Taylor, a New Mexico franchisee of three co-branded Schlotzsky’s and Cinnabon restaurants, using ChatGPT and ChatGPT Work for pricing, labor, payroll, and cash reconciliation. He says ChatGPT Work cut repricing from five days to 1–2 hours and monthly cash reconciliation from three hours to 5–10 minutes, and removed four hours from each payroll cycle. He also estimates scheduling changes could add $50,000 to $100,000 in annual free cash flow. Those figures are his account, not an independent audit.

Unconfirmed: Time savings and the $50,000 to $100,000 cash-flow figure are the franchisee’s estimates in OpenAI’s own story.

Key facts
  • He gave ChatGPT Work read-only access to sales and labor data.
  • A bodily-fluid procedure draft took about 30 seconds; an HR firm left a social-media policy unchanged.
  • He built an employee supply-and-repair request portal with ChatGPT Work.
  • Better scheduling is estimated at one to two percentage points of sales in labor.
