Restaurants & Food ServiceFinancial Management3MediumOwner$ implied

Independent restaurant owners lack consistent monthly profitability tracking, relying on cash-on-hand and annual tax filings instead of real-time operational KPIs.

Existing restaurant POS systems (Toast) track sales but don't automatically integrate with bank feeds, credit cards, and labor costs to produce monthly P&L and operational KPIs easily.
