The Restaurant Owner's Dilemma

You got into this business because you love food and hospitality—not spreadsheets. But the numbers matter.

"Food costs are creeping up but you're not sure why"

"Your POS data doesn't match your bank account"

"Tip reporting feels like a compliance minefield"

"You're always behind on vendor payments"

"Cash flow is unpredictable week to week"

"You're flying blind between monthly financials"

Restaurant Accounting That Moves at Your Pace

We've helped cafes, full-service restaurants, food trucks, and catering companies get their finances under control. Here's how we do it.

Food Cost Under Control

We track your food costs weekly so you can spot problems before they eat into your margins. Know your actual vs. theoretical costs and where the waste is happening.

Tip Compliance Done Right

Tip pooling, tip credits, tip reporting—we handle it all correctly so you stay compliant and your team gets paid fairly.

Weekly P&L Reviews

In restaurants, a month is too long to wait. We give you weekly financial snapshots so you can make decisions while they still matter.

Prime Cost Monitoring

Labor plus food cost is everything in this business. We track your prime cost obsessively and alert you when it creeps out of range.
