Financial discipline
Embrace for Hospitality
In a business of thin margins and long hours, your numbers cannot wait until month-end.
Restaurants and hospitality operators live by margins measured in points, not percentages, and by labor, food cost, and cash that move every single day. Embrace brings the financial discipline the industry rarely has time for: prime-cost visibility, multi-location reporting, tip and payroll compliance, and the operational support to keep the back office running while you run the floor. We give you tonight’s numbers, not last quarter’s.
Restaurant Accounting
Daily Sales and POS Reconciliation: Daily sales, deposits, and POS data reconciled to the books, so cash is accounted for before it walks.
Prime Cost Tracking: Food cost and labor cost monitored against targets, the single number that makes or breaks a restaurant.
Accounts Payable and Vendor Management: Invoice management, payment runs, and vendor terms that protect your cash position and your relationships.
Multi-Location and Multi-Concept Reporting: Location-by-location and concept-by-concept reporting that shows you which rooms actually make money.
Payroll and Compliance
Tip Reporting and Tipped-Wage Compliance: Tip pooling, allocation, and reporting handled correctly, one of the industry’s biggest compliance risks, managed.
Restaurant Payroll Administration: High-turnover, multi-rate, multi-location payroll processed accurately and on time.
Sales and Use Tax Filing: Accurate, on-time sales tax preparation and filing so the state is never a surprise.
Labor, Health, and Licensing Compliance: California-specific wage-and-hour, licensing, and permit support that keeps the doors open.
Margin and Growth Strategy
Menu and Margin Analysis: Item-level and category margin analysis that turns the menu into a profit lever.
Cash Flow and Seasonality Forecasting: Forecasting built around your seasonality, so slow months are planned for, not survived.
New-Location and Buildout Budgeting: Pre-opening budgets, buildout tracking, and break-even modeling for your next concept or location.
Fractional CFO for Operators: Senior financial leadership for owners and operator groups scaling beyond a single room.
