Playbooks for Ferndale's independent restaurants, bars and shops
AppWT delivers the full 87-manual library to Ferndale operators: hiring SOPs, sales cadences, AI-prompt libraries, finance close checklists, customer onboarding scripts, marketing calendars, and incident response runbooks. We tailor each manual to your business: a Nine Mile retailer needs different intake flows than a service trade off Hilton Rd. Every manual ships as an editable doc plus a Notion or Google Drive workspace so your team actually uses it, not just stores it.

Nine Mile and Woodward, the Ferndale crossroads
Ferndale is a compact, walkable city in southern Oakland County, just north of Detroit at Nine Mile Road and Woodward Avenue. Its economy is retail, dining and service driven, built on a dense cluster of independently owned restaurants, bars, breweries and shops rather than large single employers, and the Rust Belt Market is a downtown fixture. When the owner is also the manager on duty, a written training routine takes the repeat explaining off their plate.
Tony Paris has run the practice since 1997, trading as AppWT since 2005: 29+ years of building real operations, not theory. BBB A+ rated, family-owned out of Livonia, with a network of 315 service subdomains backing the manuals with live tooling. Ferndale owners get a founder on the phone, not a content mill.
