Advanced tools for accurate restaurant accounting

We understand that costs, labor, and operational behaviors play a pivotal role in maximizing efficiency and profitability. 

Unlock your business's financial potential with our dynamic weekly accounting package. Featuring P&Ls, Balance Sheets, and Cash Flow Statements, our reports use proprietary drill-down technology to seamlessly guide you from high-level summaries to granular details. This real-time financial intelligence empowers your team to spot trends, investigate anomalies, and make data-driven decisions instantly. The results speak for themselves: 16% of our clients have successfully expanded by opening new restaurants. By transforming complex data into actionable insights, our weekly financial package doesn't just report numbers—it fuels growth.

Gain a competitive edge with customized financial reviews that analyze your performance against industry benchmarks. Our team of experts will collaborate with you to set clear goals, design actionable strategies, and implement precise tracking. By regularly reviewing key performance metrics, we help you identify opportunities, refine tactics, and consistently work toward maximizing your profits.

Unlock powerful, real-time insights into your restaurant’s performance with our dynamic financial dashboard. Customize it to your unique needs with flexible widgets, giving you full control over the metrics that matter most. Leverage live data to optimize cash flow, make data-driven decisions, and set precise, achievable budgets and targets. Our dashboard goes beyond standard reporting—it's a strategic tool designed to fuel your growth and profitability.

Balance operational simplicity with comprehensive financial control. Operators can efficiently manage daily transactions using pre-approved GL accounts, while also having the flexibility to create custom journal entries when needed. This empowers your team to address unique financial situations without compromising accuracy. Meanwhile, financial managers can thoroughly review, audit, and adjust all entries. By centralizing these activities, we eliminate spreadsheets and bolster data integrity. Our system's built-in error validation and customizable workflows ensure accuracy across both standard operations and custom entries, providing a robust yet flexible framework for your entire financial process.

Review trends within budgets, forecasting, and financial analysis using an accounting cycle tailored to your business needs, whether it’s a 13-period, 4-4-5, or 5-4-4 format. By adhering to these period-based cycles, you're comparing ‘apples to apples’ when analyzing financial data—unlike traditional monthly cycles where a 31-day month might be compared to a 28-day February. This ensures more consistent and accurate insights into performance, making it easier to track cash flow, control costs, and forecast trends. Aligning financial reporting with operational rhythms provides clearer visibility into seasonality, simplifies decision-making, and gives you a stronger foundation for budgeting and long-term financial planning.

P&L Statement

With Back Office, we have more immediate control and understanding of our financial position, and we understand how important it is to see financial statements weekly and have our accounting services consolidated in one platform. Not having to use 3 different contracted services through a local CPA is better for us organizationally and cost-wise.
