Sales fluctuate by the hour. Labor shifts on the fly. Vendor prices change overnight. And yet, most restaurant finance teams are managing these daily realities with back-office systems built for slower, simpler industries.
That’s not just frustrating — it’s expensive.
Most accounting systems weren’t built for restaurants.
And most consulting partners weren’t built to fix that.
At Tablespoon, we’re restaurant people first — and finance systems experts second. We don’t just implement software. We build financial infrastructure that actually keeps up with the pace of restaurant operations.
When your reporting lags behind your operations, you’re not managing performance — you’re managing fallout.
Restaurant finance teams tell us they’re stuck with:
That’s not sustainable. And it’s why more restaurant groups are turning to operator-first solutions like Sage Intacct — implemented and optimized by Tablespoon.
We don’t force generic tools to fit the restaurant model. We build systems that reflect how restaurants actually run.
Here’s what that means:
Built by Operators
We’ve sat in the finance seat. That’s why everything we implement — from GL mapping to margin alerts — is built with real-world restaurant complexity in mind.
Designed for Daily Use
Our tools drive:
Because the industry moves fast — and so should your numbers.
It’s not enough to “connect” POS, payroll, and inventory tools. We configure them to actually work together:
We build reporting that highlights what matters, when it matters — no fluff.
Think: daily flash reports, COGS drift alerts, and franchise-level rollups you can actually use.

We’re not generalist implementers. We’re not resellers.
We’re a team of restaurant finance experts who build systems that move at the speed of your business.
When we say “back-office modernization,” we mean:
Every day you wait for last month’s numbers is a day you’re losing margin.
The most competitive restaurant groups don’t settle for lagging reports and spreadsheet silos. They invest in daily visibility, actionable data, and systems built for scale.
That’s what we build.
That’s what makes us different.
That’s why Tablespoon.
