Restaurant Consulting
Our restaurant consulting services include operational analysis, menu engineering, inventory management, tip consulting, and cost control. We work closely with you to identify areas for improvement and develop strategies to enhance your restaurant’s performance through budget plans, projections, and financial reporting. We can assist in developing proforma studies to help you plan for growth, secure funding, make informed decisions about your restaurant’s future, create restaurant concepts, or forecast for the next location. We are committed to serving the restaurant industry by providing valuable financial advice.
Restaurant Accounting & Bookkeeping
We offer outsourced bookkeeping, financial statement preparation, and systems integration. Our restaurant accounting specialists make sure that your financial records are accurate and up to date, allowing you to make informed decisions about your business. Our back-office solution options are typically less costly than a full-time bookkeeper while providing your restaurant management team with key metrics from which to operate the business. Our cloud-based software integrates your entire restaurant software from POS to payroll. Invoices are scanned, bills are approved and paid electronically, and operational reports are on demand and in real time. This highly integrated system minimizes errors, saves time, and increases efficiency, accuracy, and productivity. Our team is certified in QuickBooks Online and Intacct.
Restaurant Site Audit & Assessment
Our comprehensive site assessments are designed to uncover hidden vulnerabilities within your restaurant’s operations. Our Restaurant Site Assessment is a detailed operational and financial practices review that helps restauranteurs identify and prevent potential fraud, theft, and loss. Our experienced specialists will thoroughly inspect your operation and current employee practices and compile a comprehensive, actionable report. We provide detailed reports and actionable recommendations to help you address these issues.
Technology & Systems Consulting
We focus on implementing or optimizing POS systems, back-office software, inventory management solutions, and payroll/time and attendance platforms. Our technology team helps you choose and integrate the right systems to streamline your operations and enhance productivity. Whether it's cutting costs, increasing sales, or providing better and faster service, we have a solution that will fit your needs.
Operational Reviews
Our detailed self-guided questionnaire will give you instant results and feedback comparing your restaurant to other successful restaurants. Based on your results, we work with your restaurant to make improvements, help you uphold high standards, and deliver exceptional service to your customers.
Tax Consulting & Compliance
Our tax consulting services cover tax planning, tip law compliance, sales tax audit representation, and leveraging credits and incentives. We help you navigate the complexities of tax regulations and make sure you remain compliant while helping you take advantage of the ever-changing tax laws for the benefit of your business. We can help develop tax strategies to meet your objectives, from planning and preparing tax returns to developing sound estate and gift tax plans. We can also help you cope with rising payroll, property, excise, sales, and other industry-specific taxes. We understand that the benefit of minimizing all taxes, not just income taxes, is important in developing and maintaining a successful business.
