The Den frees up 10-15 hours a week to grow with ChatGPT Work
Summary
The Den Family Social is a Denver-based social club founded by Chandler Lipe that provides parents with a space where both they and their children are welcomed. As the club prepared to open its second location, the team adopted ChatGPT Work with Gmail, Slack, and Google Drive plugins to manage increasing administrative tasks. The tool has saved the small team 10-15 hours per week: liquor-license document preparation was condensed from four days to three hours, and grant applications reduced from three days to two hours. Chandler estimates ChatGPT saves her about seven hours of exploratory conversations weekly. Head of Programming Brooke used ChatGPT to develop a partnership structure for leadership review, while General Manager Maia organized financial and sales data for better inventory forecasting across both locations. Chandler is also using ChatGPT Voice during travel to draft emails and capture meeting follow-ups. The Den plans to explore Codex for building a member app, better POS system connections, and cross-location Slack alerts, all to support their mission of giving parents a welcoming space.
