Restaurant Accounting Services For Independent Restaurants
Unlike franchise restaurants, independent establishments are the ultimate “all-in” proposition. And with this commitment comes challenges for your restaurant, especially as they relate to independent restaurant accounting services.
Some unique challenges associated with independent restaurants include:
- Concentrated focus on performance & expenses for one facility
- Complete ownership / creative freedom – the owner calls the shots, unlike a franchise
- Finding reliable, cloud-based accounting services for independent restaurants
Unique Challenges of Independent Restaurants
This means that your accounting services for independent restaurants should stay on top of:
Suppliers are the key to ensuring a steady flow of food, equipment, and other assets to help your restaurant operate on a daily basis. RASI has the reports and resources to help you develop a strategic vendor management plan.
If one restaurant in a franchise isn’t profitable, the other locations can help drive overall corporate bottom-line profit. But independent restaurants don’t have that benefit, so having a firm grasp on menu costing and cost of goods expenses are critical for independent restaurants. RASI has menu item contribution reporting as well as menu costing tools to strategically identify menu items with high price and demand.
Accuracy is everything with independent restaurant accounting services. And if your restaurant has a reliable, value-added service like RASI running your books behind the scenes, you’re better able to concentrate on more important revenue producing activities.
For any independent restaurant that relies on tourism, seasonal increases in business, and other variable growth factors, regular P&L assessment is paramount. That’s why RASI’s accounting services generate weekly P&L for all clients, including independent restaurants. This allows operators to be proactive, as consistent, accurate financial reporting enables adjustments to their business as necessary. With RASI, you’ll spend more time acting on P&L statements than worrying about generating them in the first place.
