Long Island City
Long Island City is a fast-growing Queens neighborhood on the East River, a mix of high-rise residential towers, tech and creative offices, and an arts scene anchored by MoMA PS1, alongside restaurants, breweries, and shops. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms — custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing — for Long Island City's restaurants, studios, startups, and service businesses, and we serve them from York County, Pennsylvania, remote-first with on-site time when a project warrants the drive.
Do you work with businesses in Long Island City?
Yes — remote-first, with on-site visits when a project warrants it. A Long Island City client gets a named contact, a regular maintenance window, and direct access for urgent issues.
What would you build for a Long Island City restaurant, studio, or startup?
Usually a customer, booking, ordering, or operations platform built around how your business runs — so a Long Island City operation works from one system instead of a stack of apps that don't talk to each other.
Where does AI help a Long Island City operator?
In intake, customer email, scheduling, reporting, and follow-up — so a Long Island City business gets real leverage without adding headcount.
What's the cybersecurity baseline for a Long Island City business?
Managed EDR, MFA, immutable backups, phishing filtering, and a written incident-response plan, plus secure payment handling if you take card payments. We set it up and manage it for you.
What does a custom platform cost a Long Island City business?
A single focused workflow runs from the high four figures into the mid five figures; a multi-workflow platform runs higher. We scope it to what your Long Island City operation actually needs and phase it so value lands early.
How long until it's running?
Usually eight to ten weeks to the first live workflow, then iterative improvements from there.
Who owns the code and data?
You do, outright — no lock-in. The platform and data belong to your Long Island City business.
How fast do you respond when something breaks?
Typically 15–60 minutes during business hours and under an hour after-hours for critical issues, with direct access for urgent problems instead of a ticket queue.

Yes — local SEO and content in English and Spanish where it fits your customers, so people searching in their own language find you first.
