The financial difference is stark. A full-time receptionist in Brooklyn typically costs $50,000+ annually in salary alone. But that's just the beginning.

With a traditional employee, you're also paying for:

• Health insurance (~$8,000-$12,000/year)
• Payroll taxes (~$4,000/year)
• Workers' compensation insurance
• Paid time off (vacation, sick days)
• Training and onboarding costs

Total annual cost for one employee: $65,000-$75,000+

OAK AI costs a fraction of this—just hundreds of dollars per month, with no hidden fees, benefits, or ongoing training requirements.
