Protect every plate's profit.
Recipe costing, POS reconciliation, multi-outlet consolidation and payroll for restaurants, cafés and quick-service chains — where 2% of margin is the difference between growth and closure.
Where restaurants & qsr chains finance actually breaks.
We designed our practice around the everyday realities operators in this sector wrestle with.
Recipe drift & wastage
Portion sizes and yields quietly shift over months.
POS-to-bank gaps
Cash, POS terminal and food-app settlements rarely reconcile cleanly.
Multi-outlet visibility
Head office sees P&L too late to act on it.
High staff turnover
Constant onboarding, payroll and statutory changes.
What happens when it's left unattended.
These are the failure modes we most commonly find in the first 30 days of every diagnostic.
Food-cost creep
1% of unwatched food cost = the whole net margin, gone.
Cash shrinkage
Untracked cash sales and voided orders drain the till.
Delivery-app leakage
Commissions and refunds go unchecked for months.
Statutory penalties
PAYE, pension and VAT errors compound with staff turnover.
