Software that has to work on Monday.

Mando Works is a two-person studio in Puerto Rico. We build the software a business actually runs on, and we run a farm on the same software to make sure it holds.

What we build

Seven things we have built enough times to quote honestly. Each one is backed by work already running, not by a service page we wrote last week.

01

Intake and bookings

The form is where most small businesses lose the sale. We build intake that survives a weak signal, confirms in writing, and lands in an admin screen somebody will actually open.

Already built

  • Café reservation system with table availability
  • Invite-only membership intake for a tournament
  • Competition video submission portal
  • Raffle entry with qualifying questions
  • Digital contact card with lead capture

02

WhatsApp operations

Here the business already lives in a chat thread. Instead of moving customers off it, we put structure behind it: orders, payments, and a record of what was promised.

Already built

  • Chat threads turned into structured orders and customers
  • Payment record manager for a service business
  • Automated replies bound to a written company truth base

03

Storefronts and commerce plumbing

A store is the easy half. The hard half is the product feed, the local inventory, the tax and shipping edge cases, and knowing which channel actually sold the thing.

Already built

  • Bilingual headless storefront on puntopio.com
  • Google Merchant and Meta catalog feeds, kept in sync
  • Self-hosted WooCommerce analytics, built to replace a paid tool
  • Custom local payment gateway plugin

04

Brand sites that convert

For businesses running on Instagram alone. One site they own, in Spanish and English, pointed at a single action: a booking, a call, or an order.

Already built

  • Restaurant menu and ordering site
  • Coworking ecosystem brand site
  • Mural studio site built around discovery-call bookings
  • Membership club site with an application flow

05

Research and monitoring pipelines

Agents that go and find out, then hand back something a person can decide on. Local-first where the data is sensitive, and always with the unverified parts marked as unverified.

Already built

  • Competitor and creator research briefs
  • Lead lists built and qualified for a narrow vertical
  • Automated site performance and SEO auditing

06

Agent operations

If a team is going to run coding agents, somebody has to make them accountable. Shared skills so every machine follows the same playbook, credentials that are never printed, cost visibility, and a kill switch for the day a deployment runs away.

Already built

  • One skill library synced across Claude Code, Gemini, Cursor and Kilo
  • Secrets referenced by path, never by value
  • Deployment kill switch with an append-only audit log
  • Self-hosted Supabase and Caddy behind a private tailnet

07

Proposals and sponsorship decks

Written from the asking side, which is the harder side. We research what the other party actually needs, put the numbers where they can be checked, and mark every figure we could not verify instead of rounding it into a claim.

Already built

  • In-kind activation proposals to national brands
  • Festival and tournament sponsorship packages
  • Legislative advocacy dossier for an agricultural initiative
  • Subscriber renewal campaign copy, tested before sending
  • On-site quoting from a phone measurement, straight to PDF

Our own ventures

Mando Works is the parent. These run underneath it, and they are where most ideas get tested first.

Punto Pio

Pasture-raised eggs and Silkies, Puerto Rico

A working farm in Manatí and San Juan, founded 2023. Most of what we build for other businesses was proven here first, on a real flock, a real storefront, and real customers who order over WhatsApp.

Yarido Aesthetics

Whimsical bohemian murals

Yari's mural practice, sold as transformation packages rather than by the square foot, aimed at short-term rentals and hospitality interiors across Puerto Rico.

Ando Piando

The farm on YouTube, and the system behind it

A channel about keeping a small farm afloat, plus the transcription and planning tooling that turns a week of voice memos into episodes.

How we work

Three things decide whether a build survives contact with a real business.

01

Ship the smallest thing that is true

No speculative features, no abstractions for code used once. If a claim cannot be defended, it does not go on the page.

02

Agents do the volume, people decide

We run a fleet of coding agents daily and build the tooling that keeps them accountable: shared skills, cost tracking, and secrets that are never printed.

03

We are our own first client

The storefront, the WhatsApp ordering, the receipt capture, the content dashboard. All of it carries real orders for the farm before it is offered to anyone else.
