Restaurant accounting that doesn't
walk out the door.
When your bookkeeper leaves, the institutional knowledge usually leaves with them. Open Book Hospitality builds the systems, documentation, and continuity plan that keep your books running, no matter who's at the desk.
The problem
You're one resignation away from a fire drill.
Most independent restaurant groups run their accounting on a single person's memory. The logins live in their head. The month-end checklist exists only because they remember to do it. Restaurant365 was set up years ago and nobody's looked under the hood since.
When that person leaves (and they do leave), operators spend the next ninety days reconstructing what should have been documented from day one.
The fix
An accounting backbone that outlasts any one hire.
We come in, audit how things actually work, and rebuild your operation around documented systems. SOPs, login vault, ERP cleanup, staff training, and then we stay on retainer to keep it sharp.
You get a finance function that's resilient by design. We're the safety net under whoever happens to be sitting in the bookkeeper's chair.
Three ways to work with us.

Fractional Controller
Built for restaurant groups in the growth stretch, where the accounting work has outgrown a part-time hand but a full-time controller hire is still a year or two away. Controller-level support in whatever shape fits the cash you have today: one-time project, ongoing month-to-month, internal training, or quarterly check-ins.

ERP Clean-up & Implementation
Restaurant365 done right. Greenfield implementations, audits and clean-ups of drifted instances, migrations from legacy systems, and reporting that matches how operators read the numbers.

Annual Audit, SOPs & Client Vault
A yearly outside review, the SOP work that comes out of it, and ongoing storage in our client vault. So when your key person risk moves on, the institutional memory stays put. Take it as one combined engagement, or pick just the piece you need.
