Restaurant numbers are different
Thin margins, weekly cash swings, labor and food costs that move every month, and expansion decisions that can make or break the business. Generic accounting advice doesn't cover it. You need someone who has seen what works (and what doesn't) inside restaurant companies.
How we help restaurant and franchise owners
- Food and labor cost analysis: find where margin is leaking and what to fix first.
- Restaurant cash-flow forecasting: a weekly or 13-week cash forecast to help anticipate payroll, rent and royalties.
- Unit-level P&L review: compare locations and see which ones are carrying the business.
- New-location and new-unit modeling: build-out costs, ramp-up, break-even and payback before you sign a lease.
- Break-even analysis: the sales you need each week to cover your costs.
- Financing support: projections and analysis for SBA loans and lender conversations.
- Acquisition analysis: the financial picture of a restaurant or franchise unit you're thinking about buying.
