You build community through stories. We help with the rest

Empower your staff, protect your culture, and simplify compliance.

Bookstores often operate like families — passionate, loyal, and deeply connected to their communities. But that same closeness can make HR processes informal or inconsistent.

• Hiring, onboarding, and role clarity
   
• Training plans for customer service and sales
   
• Conflict resolution and employee handbooks
   
• Payroll and compliance systems that grow with you

✅ Result: A happy, empowered team that runs smoothly — even when you’re not on the floor.

Make your day-to-day as efficient as your best shelving system.

Inventory, vendor orders, POS systems, events, and staffing — there’s a lot to juggle.
LFG streamlines the back-end so you can focus on the front of house.

• Inventory management workflows
   
• Vendor and supplier communication
   
• Store opening/closing procedures
   
• Scheduling and operational SOPs
   

✅ Result: Fewer fire drills, more time to connect with readers.

Know your numbers as well as you know your novels.

Margins are tight. We make sure you understand — and optimize — every one.

LFG helps you:

• Build profit dashboards and cash flow tools
   
• Track sales performance by genre, author, or event
   
• Plan for inventory budgets and staffing costs
