We know you’re working hard—but is it leading to the growth you want?
At Vast, we tackle the financial challenges that hold so many restaurateurs back. With clear cash flow management, smart budgeting, and strategic planning, here’s how we turn your efforts into measurable results:
Cash flow in a restaurant can be tricky with fluctuating costs like food, labor, and rent. We’ll help you organize your cash flow to cover daily operations and plan for growth, so you can achieve your financial goals. Whether it’s investing in new equipment or opening a second location, we provide recommendations and approval for large purchases to ensure they align with your budget and profitability.
A successful restaurant starts with a clear budget, and we’re passionate about it. We’ll help you plan your spending by focusing on key areas like food costs and labor—the foundation of the Prime Cost Pyramid.
Throughout the year, we’ll track your progress, highlight areas that need adjustments, and ensure you stay on course to meet your financial goals.
Running a restaurant means constantly making decisions about the future. What if you hire more staff? Raise menu prices? Open a second location? With detailed forecasting and projections, we’ll help you see how these choices could impact your cash flow, profitability, and overall success.
Where do you want your restaurant to be financially next year? In three years? Ten years? We’ll help you create a clear plan to get there, whether it’s expanding to new locations, boosting profitability, or investing in better equipment. With a customized financial strategy, we’ll keep your long-term goals in focus while managing the day-to-day numbers.
We start by looking under the hood of your restaurant’s finances. During this phase, we walk through all your accounting processes to understand your unique needs and identify critical or high-risk areas, like overdue tax returns or financial records in need of cleanup. We also create work paper support for all balance sheet accounts to ensure accurate, up-to-date balances and precise financial data.
Once we’ve got a clear picture, we’ll help you set financial goals and create a plan to reach them. This includes recommendations for improving cash flow, reducing costs, and streamlining your operations. Whether it’s adjusting labor costs, managing inventory, or planning for growth, we’ll map out the steps that make sense for your restaurant.
To keep you on track, we meet with you monthly to review progress and make adjustments as needed. These check-ins ensure your financial statements are reliable, your goals remain aligned, and your restaurant continues moving toward long-term success.
