When you made the decision to open your own Restaurant or Catering business, I'm quite certain that bookkeeping was not at the top of your list of concerns.  

Picking a good location, obtaining the financing, determining the type of food you would serve, figuring out what experience you wanted your guests to receive...these decisions are some of the most crucial ones you made when you started out.  

Then comes planning out all the logistics - the equipment you needed to purchase, the layout of the restaurant, how the operations should flow, the type of employees you would hire, the menu and related pricing. These help define what your restaurant is all about.

So why be concerned with bookkeeping?

Even with all the exhaustive work you put into your restaurant, you still need to be at the top of your game.  Profit margins typically are thin, and unfortunately restaurants frequently do not survive.  And although there are many reasons why a restaurant could fail, often the determining factor was that they did not understand the finances related to their business.  

And if you don't know your finances, you don't know your restaurant.

I am a Certified Public Accountant and created my company to provide  bookkeeping and other analysis to help restaurant owners maximize their performance. Since we specialize in this industry, we are better able to provide you with what you need to be successful than bookkeepers who just don't have the specific knowledge.

There are some common financial mistakes that many restaurants make that can at best harm them, and at worse actually jeopardize them. It is important to know issues others frequently have so you can avoid them.

With that thought in mind, I wrote my eBook: Restaurants Often Make These 7 Financial Mistakes - What You Can Do To Fix Them Today.
