DOES YOUR RESTAURANT HAVE GREAT CASHFLOW & LOW STAFF TURNOVER?

If you said “No” to the above questions, get excited: things are about to start turning around for you. Almost all hospitality business failures can be attributed to one of these two issues. #1 Poor Cashflow. #2 Staff Turnover. Business stress leads to personal stress, all which can be avoided and overcome.

Having a bookkeeper who is an expert in the hospitality industry is crucial to smashing these challenges. Brunch & Books recognised the lack of specialised support available for cafe and restaurant owners, with many bookkeepers choosing to avoid the industry completely. We love a great challenge and we’ve made it our business, to help your business become the best version of itself.

Cashflow

There are many factors that impact your business’s profitability and cashflow. A hospitality bookkeeper like Brunch & Books knows the triggers for cafes and restaurants. This partnership can save you money and make you money through the implementation of industry proven strategies.

Increase profit margins

The dream of all business owners. And the key to achieving it? Being organised. We analyse your processes and expenditure to identify your problem areas. We also constantly research innovative strategies to boost your profit margins.

Reduce expenses

Cafe & Restaurant Bookkeeping services can reduce your expenses in a number of ways. Negotiating with or changing suppliers, cutting labour costs, and ensuring all cost increases are passed on to the customer are just some examples.

Benchmark comparisons

By comparing your business performance with benchmarks across the industry we can assess your business’s performance. We can pinpoint reasons for any differences to the benchmarks, and also create financial forecasts for your business.

Record & review

Managing cashflow can be a constant struggle. To make sure your profit margin continues to increase from year to year we keep thorough records and make regular budget reviews. This enables us to critically review your cashflow situation.

Staff turnover

You spend all this time looking for, hiring, and training new staff, and then they leave. It can happen in any industry. But in hospitality especially staff retention is a major sore point which shows no sign of improving.

The onboarding process is expensive, and employees have the upper hand being able to change where they work as they choose. You can never know when you’re money is going to be well spent.

The time has come to get serious about investing in effective retention strategies. This may seem like a big financial commitment, but it’s not. The cost is minimal when compared to the money lost time and again in replacing and retraining staff.

Brunch & Books provides a number of strategies to improve your onboarding process and minimise staffing costs. By analysing your records we can see where you are spending too much and where you are lacking in efficiency. Then we can start to improve all processes for the benefit of your business.

We can also set up automated payroll software like Tanda or Deputy. Once we implement this for you, it will greatly improve the efficiency of several aspects of your business. These smarter, streamlined processes will also dramatically reduce your bookkeeping and accounting fees.

Improving systems

Brunch & Books have worked with many small hospitality businesses who were using outdated systems and software. These old processes are a huge waste of time and money and the opposite of efficient.

We can evaluate your existing software, systems and processes to see how your business matches current industry standards. We then provide recommendations on how you can improve efficiency and work smarter, resulting in long term savings in time and money.

AUtomated processes

We set up automated systems for you that manage payroll, budgeting, financial reports and more. You’ll never worry about bookkeeping again!

Time management

With industry standard bookkeeping systems taking care of mundane office duties, you’ll be free to spend more time on the future of your business.

Smarter spending

By implementing streamlined and automated processes we can do in just 8 hours per month what many businesses pay their current bookkeepers 8 hours per week to do.

You can see our Restaurant Bookkeeping services are extensive and high quality.
