Accountants for Hospitality.
Most hospitality businesses are busy. Far fewer are confident they're actually profitable. We help cafés, bars, restaurants and hotels see exactly where the money's made and lost– site by site, service by service.

Sound familiar?
●
Hospitality is a brutal business to run blind. Thin margins, rising wage costs, and a different story every season. When your accountant only shows up at year-end, you're flying a plane with the instruments switched off.
• Margins
You're taking good money but somehow there's nothing left at the end of the month.
• No visibility
You couldn't say which dishes, drinks, or sites actually make you money. You just know roughly how the bank looks.
• Wage costs
Staff costs keep creeping up and you're not sure what percentage of revenue they should actually be.
• Seasonality
The quiet months always catch you out, and you're scrambling for cash when you should have seen it coming.
What we track
●
The numbers that matter in hospitality.
Not generic accounts. The metrics that tell you whether your business is actually working and what to do about it.
• Gross profit by site & service
Know exactly which locations and which services (food, drink, events) are carrying the business, and which are draining it.
• Wage percentage
Track labour as a percentage of revenue against industry benchmarks, so you know when rotas are eating your margin.
• Food & Drink GP
Real gross margins on what you sell, so pricing and supplier decisions are based on fact, not what you charged last year.
• Covers & spend per head
Understand the patterns behind your busiest and quietest periods, and what each customer is actually worth.
• Cash flow through the seasons
See the quiet months coming months in advance, so you can build a buffer instead of scrambling.
• Multi-site comparison
If you run more than one site, compare them like-for-like and spot what your best site does that the others don't.
