The Problem

Food businesses leave thousands on the table every year in messy books.

You're running a floor, managing staff, and dealing with suppliers. The last thing you have time for is QuickBooks. But the IRS doesn't care how busy you are.

β˜•

Supplier invoices never hit the books right

Sysco, US Foods, local roasters, linen services: dozens of weekly invoices that need to be in COGS, not 'Uncategorized Expense.'

πŸ’΅

Cash tips and POS deposits are chaos

Square, Toast, Clover, Stripe: deposits hit your bank in batches and never match the day's actual sales without manual work.

πŸ‘¨β€πŸ³

Staff meals and food costs mixed up

Employee meals are deductible differently than food sold to customers. Most shops never separate them, and overpay.

πŸ“¦

No idea what your food cost percentage is

Without clean books you can't calculate your actual food cost, so you never know if the menu is profitable.

Works the way a food business actually operates.
