Sometimes a change of scenery is the best kind of strategy ☕️✨

A few of us spent the morning camped out at one of our favorite local spots — Hardy Coffee Co — getting work done and soaking up the energy of a great space (and great lattes). Supporting local businesses is always on brand.

Elevator Co-Warehousing keeps leveling up, and we’re proud to be part of the journey. Our team at 316 Strategy Group is excited to help bring their expansion to life online as they support entrepreneurs throughout the region. Founded in Omaha, they've now expanded to Des Moines, Kansas City, Lincoln, and St. Louis!

Did you know we launched 🚀 a new website? A big milestone for our team and the digital side of Elevator Co-Warehousing.

As we grow across the Midwest, our digital presence has to support more creators, more businesses, and more activity inside our buildings. The new site makes it easier for founders to explore more about our spaces, book tours, what our members experience and understand what Elevator actually provides day-to-day. 316 Strategy Group captured that vision and turned it into a site that reflects where we’re headed, not just where we are today.

Restaurant operators and hospitality brands...this is a must-read.

At 316 Strategy Group, we help businesses navigate real-world challenges with strategy, clarity, and the tools to win. And this week, we’re proud to spotlight a major shift that could change how restaurants get paid.

Our founder, Joseph Kenney, recently sat down with Omaha Food Magazine to talk about a fintech breakthrough that could eliminate credit card fees, streamline cash flow, and finally give operators the leverage they’ve needed for years.

🔹 No processing fees
🔹 No chargebacks
🔹 Instant settlement
🔹 All powered through everyday apps like Cash App — no crypto required

Mass adoption is still a long way off, but that doesn’t mean operators should wait. This tech is already here, and it might just be the future of how small businesses get paid.

Then let’s talk about what this could mean for your restaurant or brand.

We’re a little late to the party, but we finally had to share one of our Northern Lights shots. This was taken near Ceresco. To create the “316” effect, Thomas stood in front of the camera with their iPhone flashlight turned on and traced each number in the air.

The shutter stayed open the entire time, which allowed the light to “paint” the digits into the photo. At the end of each number, the light turned off, then back on to start the next.

This was night two of the Northern Lights in Nebraska, and the cloud cover wasn’t exactly ideal, but the long exposure technique still gave us something pretty special.

Faith Restored.

A few weeks ago, we received an unexpected email from a former client. Several years back, she went through an incredibly difficult season and had to close her business. During that time, she ended her services with 316 and, unfortunately, left behind a sizeable balance.

We never sent her to collections. That’s not how we have operated. Life happens, and we choose to lead with grace.

Out of the blue, she reached out, wanting to reconcile and honor her outstanding balance in full. Today, a check arrived in the mail for the entire amount.

In recent years, some of the people we’ve trusted the most have taken advantage of us when we least expected it. It’s moments like this that remind us why we continue to lead with integrity, empathy, and reaffirm that doing business with heart always pays off.

Omaha Business Owners | You Are Probably Invisible to AI.

Even if you rank #1 on Google, tools like ChatGPT and Google AI may still skip over your business entirely.

Why?
Because AI doesn’t see your website the way humans do. If your brand isn’t structured right, you won’t be recommended, and customers won’t find you.

💡 At 316 Strategy Group, we’ve built Nebraska’s largest SEO team, and we’re offering a FREE AI Visibility Audit to show you where your brand stands in this new AI-driven world.

✅ Are you being mentioned in AI search results?
✅ Is your site readable by AI models?
✅ Are your reviews, profiles, and content helping or hurting you?

👉 Message us or comment below to request your Free Audit today.

Let’s make sure you show up where it matters next.

Most Omaha businesses are invisible to AI search. Discover why and we help you get found by ChatGPT, Google AI, and beyond.
