Case studies / Results

Real results for UK hospitality businesses.

How restaurants, cafés and multi-site groups use a specialist finance function — from catching up the books to site-level reporting the operators can actually use.

The problem. Books were behind after a busy season. Till reports, suppliers and payroll did not tell one story, so food GP and cash were guesses.

What was implemented. Bookkeeping and AP brought onto a monthly cycle, EPOS matched to the bank, and a hospitality management pack covering food GP, beverage GP, labour and cash.

The outcome. The operator had a current pack to read, not a year-end reconstruction — and a clear view of food, drink and cash during the month.

The problem. Site managers could not see their own numbers. The company view arrived too late to help with labour or purchasing at the venues.

What was implemented. Site-level reporting alongside a group pack, supplier processing on an agreed cycle, and senior review before accounts were released.

The outcome. Each site had a comparable pack; the group still saw cash, VAT and payroll in one place, in time to act.
