The market
What Myrtle Beach looks like from here.
Myrtle Beach runs on hospitality and tourism: hotels and resorts, restaurants, attractions, real estate, and the services behind them. Your staff turns over every season, and a new front desk hire will find an AI tool to write guest replies before anyone shows them the handbook. Your group sales team is doing the same with proposals. A ten-page policy will not survive that. A rule that fits on one page, written for each role, might.
The systems are usually Microsoft 365, a property or booking system, a sales system for group business, and accounting software that reports by export. We write the AI rules as short role-based pages and back them with settings on your systems, so the rule holds even when the person changes. Then we connect bookings, sales, and accounting to one dashboard you own, so occupancy, revenue, and cost sit together without a spreadsheet. Myrtle Beach sits in Horry County, and hospitality employers along the Grand Strand turn their staff over every season.
What we would expect to find here. Thin margins and seasonal staffing leave no room for a rule no one reads. One-page rules per role, backed by system settings, do the work instead.
Myrtle Beach is a service area, not an office. One team, based in North Carolina, works in your own systems.

Questions
Questions about working with us from Myrtle Beach
Where are you based and do you work remotely?
Third Shift Group LLC is based in North Carolina and works with firms across North and South Carolina. Most of the work runs remotely, against your Microsoft cloud account and your systems. Policy meetings and leadership sessions can be on site where that helps. See where we work for the regions and towns we cover.
How do you write rules seasonal staff will actually follow?
Rules seasonal staff will actually follow are short, written for each role, and enforced in the systems rather than in a manual. A seasonal hire should be able to read the whole AI Use Policy for their job in a minute. The controls in your Microsoft cloud account do the rest.
