The Workshop
Not a portfolio. A workshop — and right now, every bench is hospitality.
PROJECT / 01
Furnished studio rentals in Autlán. A complete digital presence built from zero — hover, and the lights turn on.
PROJECT / 02
Our family's venue in the Jalisco mountains — the hospitality business we operate ourselves. The transformation is the product.
Before
Word of mouth
Every booking negotiated by hand, one WhatsApp message at a time.
Then

Next

STEP 01
The conversation
We talk about your business, not technology. What eats your time? Where do clients get lost?
Day 1 · WhatsApp or in person
STEP 02
The proposal
Exact scope, exact price, exact delivery date. In writing. No surprises later.
Day 2–3
STEP 03
Design & build
You see real progress every few days — not one big reveal at the end.
Week 1–2
STEP 04
Review together
You click through the live site on your own phone. We refine until it feels right.
Week 2
STEP 05
Launch
Domain, hosting, WhatsApp funnel, Google — everything connected and handed over.
Week 2–3
STEP 06
It keeps evolving
Automation and AI get added as your business grows. That's the studio part.
Typical outcome: 12+ hours a week back in the owner's hands
Ongoing
Typical delivery: 2–3 weeks. Not months.
Why SoftBrew exists
I watched my parents answer WhatsApp for years. Copying reservations. Searching for dates. Checking notebooks.
The problem was never how hard they worked. It was working without systems.
So I started building them. First for my family. Now for any hospitality business.
— LEONARDO PADILLA · FOUNDER
We believe small businesses deserve the same technology used by billion-dollar companies.
Not because it's trendy. Because local businesses are the backbone of every community.
Artificial intelligence shouldn't replace people. It should eliminate repetitive work — so people can focus on serving customers.
The Experiments
Curiosity creates innovation. Not everything here is hospitality — that's what a lab is for.
Booking Engine
WhatsApp-first reservation flow. Shipped, serving Estancia El Refugio daily.
AI Reservation System
Calendar, availability & auto-confirmations for Finca Tecalli.
AI Receptionist
Answers calls & messages, books appointments.
Inventory AI
Explored, learned, shelved. Archiving is a feature of a lab, not a failure.
Mexico Job Platform
The lab's biggest experiment — employer dashboards and AI candidate matching. Built in the open.
Building in Public
Shipped Estancia El Refugio — website, brand and WhatsApp booking funnel for our first client.
Lesson: a zero-friction WhatsApp form converts better than any contact page.
Rebuilt Finca Tecalli with a premium editorial look and restructured the entire marketing funnel.
Lesson: premium isn't decoration. It's restraint.
Fixed the hard stuff nobody sees: iOS Safari scroll and navbar bugs, across every site we run.
Lesson: the invisible 5% is where trust lives.

Where we're going
We could chase every industry. We won't. SoftBrew goes deep on one thing: properties that rent — by the day, the month, or the year.
Maybe one day we look at the next industry. Not before. Depth is the strategy.
The investment
Full system installs from $899 USD
+ from $99 USD/mo
Every property is different. A country house that only needs bookings pays less than a 40-room hotel that needs everything. Your free audit defines your exact system — and your exact price.
Every great business eventually stops depending on memory.
It starts running on systems.
30 minutes on WhatsApp. We map where your hours go. You leave with a plan — whether you work with us or not.
