Built for groups

From your second location to a regional chain — one process, one team, one view of every unit.

The multi-unit challenge

Every new location multiplies the paperwork.

More stores means more invoices, more payroll, more POS data and more bank accounts. When each location keeps its books a little differently, you can't compare them side by side — and small leaks hide inside the totals.

Many groups respond by hiring more accountants. We take a different approach: one system that works the same everywhere, powered by technology that does the repetitive work, run by a team that only works with restaurants.

What we build

Systems that scale with your group.

We set up the structure once, then run it for you every week and every month.

01

One close for every location

A standard chart of accounts and month-end process, so every unit's books are kept the same way, on the same schedule.

02

Side-by-side location reporting

Location P&Ls, weekly flash reports and consolidated statements that let you compare stores and spot problems fast.

03

Connected POS, payroll and accounting

Sales, tips, labor and invoices flow from the systems you already use into your books — far less manual entry.

04

Automated invoices and payables

Invoice capture, coding and approval routing across every location, with weekly payment runs prepared for your review.

05

Consolidated cash flow

Rolling forecasts across entities and locations, so you see the cash picture for the whole group, not one store at a time.

06

Controls that scale

Reconciliations, approval thresholds and variance checks that catch discrepancies early — at unit two or unit twenty.

Technology

Technology that creates efficiencies.

We leverage today's restaurant technology to cut manual work, speed up the close and give you real-time visibility across every location. Combining our restaurant experience with the right tools leads to greater efficiency and significantly better financial management.

Questions owners ask

Multi-unit restaurant accounting questions.

Should a multi-unit restaurant group outsource its accounting?
If your accountants spend their week on data entry, or each location keeps its books differently, outsourcing usually helps. You get a restaurant-only team, one standard process across every unit and coverage that doesn't stop when someone is out.
Can you consolidate reporting across locations and entities?
Yes. We keep every location on the same chart of accounts and month-end schedule, then deliver location P&Ls, weekly flash reports and consolidated statements — including commissary and catering entities.
What does outsourced restaurant accounting cost compared with an in-house team?
We charge one flat monthly fee based on your locations, entities and volume. Groups still relying on internal accountants often find considerable savings, and we can include a side-by-side cost comparison in your proposal.
Which restaurant systems do you connect?
We connect POS systems like Toast, Clover, Square and Aloha with Restaurant365 or QuickBooks Online, payroll platforms like Paylocity, Gusto and ADP, invoice automation like Ottimate, and delivery apps like DoorDash and Uber Eats.
How hard is it to switch from our current accounting team?
Kickoff is part of the engagement: account access, software setup, data migration and manager training. Then you settle into a predictable rhythm of weekly reporting and payables and a monthly close.
Do you work with restaurant groups across Texas?
Yes — from operators opening a second location to small regional chains in San Antonio, Austin, Houston, Dallas, the Rio Grande Valley and beyond.
