Hrag Kalebjian didn’t always plan to run the family coffee business. But when his father considered retiring, Hrag stepped in to keep the legacy alive. He focused on bringing the traditional shop into the digital age to reach a new generation of customers.
“I saw a big opportunity in the online space,” he says. “I’ve been here ever since and I love every single day.”
Today, Henry’s House of Coffee is a San Francisco staple with a thriving nationwide subscription model. But managing e-commerce alongside a physical shop means wearing many hats — from roaster to accountant to marketer.
To win back his time, Hrag turned to Gemini to handle the heavy lifting. Here are three ways he uses Gemini to simplify his daily operations and grow his business:
1. Automating data tracking without expensive software
Tracking daily revenue is vital, but manually pulling metrics is time-consuming.
Hrag used Gemini as a technical assistant to write custom code for a daily sales forecaster. Instead of programming it from scratch, he used everyday language to ask for help and shared screenshots with Gemini to troubleshoot errors.
“It only took about an hour to set up, and I get the report every morning,” he says.
