We're running a paid study on operational tools for independent coffee shops and small hospitality venues. We have developed a proposed shift-handover checklist concept and want to evaluate its overall market viability. Your operational expertise will help us validate our pricing hypothesis and refine our initial go-to-market strategy.
You will complete a remote asynchronous task to review the details of our proposed checklist product. We will present you with our core assumptions regarding the target buyer, pricing model, and first customer acquisition channel. You will assess these elements based on your industry experience and provide a concise written review of the concept. Finally, you will outline one practical step we can take to validate this idea with real businesses.
We are looking for professionals with hands-on experience running or managing independent cafés. We welcome current or former café owners, general managers, shift supervisors, and hospitality operations consultants. You should have a strong understanding of how daily shift handovers work and what operational tools venues are willing to purchase.

Terac is building the infrastructure layer that connects AI systems with on-demand human expertise.
We believe the future of work is shifting: instead of humans using AI to do most tasks, AI will increasingly do most work with the help of humans. In that world, companies won’t need traditional employees - but they will still need people. Terac powers that future by making high-quality human labor accessible through a single API.
Today, Terac operates as an expert network for frontier research. We handle sourcing, verification, screening, and payouts so partners can instantly access specialized talent for research, evaluation, and data generation. Our platform enables companies to tap into niche expertise on demand while focusing on building their core products.
Backed by $9M from Emergence, SignalFire, Audacious, and Z Fellows, we’re scaling from research tooling into a broader marketplace for the human data economy - building systems for expert matching, pricing, routing, and trust that will define how AI and humans collaborate at scale.
