RESTAURANT FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT

Your books can be accurate and still leave you without the information you need to run your restaurant. TrueCount offers stand-alone financial management projects to solve specific problems, improve your systems, and help you understand your numbers.

Hire me for the project you need. Keep your current bookkeeper if you want.

You Don’t Have to Change Bookkeepers to Get Better Financial Information.

MORE THAN CLEAN BOOKS

Accurate Books Are Only
Part of the Picture.

You can have perfectly reconciled accounts and still not know whether your food cost is climbing, whether labor is where it should be, which menu items are actually profitable, or where cash is slipping through the cracks.

These services focus on the financial information and systems behind the bookkeeping, so you can see what is happening inside your restaurant and make better decisions with the numbers you already have.

WAYS I CAN HELP

Choose the Project Your Restaurant Needs.

These services can be hired individually. You don’t need an ongoing bookkeeping agreement, and each project is scoped around your restaurant.

Restaurant Financial Systems Review
$500 fixed fee

A comprehensive look at the financial and accounting systems behind your restaurant to identify what’s working, what needs attention, and what I recommend addressing first.

Best for: Owners who know something could be better but aren’t sure where to start.

Cash-Control System Setup
Starting at $500

Create a clear process for managing cash from the register to the safe to the bank, including till counts, deposits, petty cash, over/short tracking, and supporting documentation.

Best for: Restaurants that handle cash and need better consistency and accountability.

Chart of Accounts Review
Starting at $300

I’ll review how your restaurant’s revenue, food and beverage costs, labor, operating expenses, and other activity are organized so your reports give you more useful information.

Best for: Restaurants with clean books but financial reports that aren’t helping management make decisions.

Prime Cost Reporting Setup
$500–$750

See your food, beverage, and labor costs together so you can understand one of the most important measures of your restaurant’s financial performance.

Best for: Owners who know their sales but can’t quickly tell you their food cost, labor cost, or prime cost percentage.

Vendor Price Review
Starting at $300

I’ll review selected vendor invoices and purchasing activity to identify price increases, unusual changes, and products that may deserve a closer look.

Best for: Restaurants that want to catch creeping food and beverage costs before small increases become expensive problems.

Recipe-Costing Setup
Starting at $500

Build a practical system that connects ingredient quantities and current purchase prices to the actual cost of the items on your menu.

Best for: Restaurants that need better information for menu pricing, food-cost management, and margin decisions.

NOT SURE WHICH SERVICE YOU NEED?

Start With the Problem, Not the Service.

You don’t need to know whether you need a chart of accounts review, prime cost reporting, recipe costing, or something else. Tell me what’s frustrating you, what information you wish you had, or what you’re worried may be falling through the cracks.

I’ll help you figure out what actually makes sense for your restaurant. If one of these projects isn’t the right answer, I’ll tell you that too.

No obligation. No need to change bookkeepers.

SIMPLE, FOCUSED PROJECTS

Here’s What Working Together Looks Like.

01

Tell Me What’s Going On

We start with a conversation about what’s happening in your restaurant, what you’re trying to improve, and what information you already have.

02

I Define the Project

I’ll determine what work makes sense and give you a clear scope and price before anything begins.

03

We Work Through It

I review the information, build or improve the system, and explain what I find in plain language.

04

You Decide What's Next

Use the system yourself, work with your existing bookkeeper, or talk with me about ongoing support. There’s no obligation to continue.

MORE THAN CLEAN BOOKS

One Project Can Be the Starting Point.

Sometimes a focused project solves the problem. Other times, it uncovers areas that need regular attention.

If you want ongoing help monitoring your restaurant’s financial information, I can also provide monthly bookkeeping and financial management support. That might include keeping an eye on prime cost, reviewing financial reports, watching for changes in vendor costs, and helping you understand what the numbers are telling you.

You decide how much support you need.
