From Kitchen To Cash Flow, We've Got You Covered
At GBQ, we understand that when it comes to running a restaurant, great food is just the beginning. There’s also managing razor-thin margins, navigating complex labor costs, and turning that passion into profit. GBQ’s restaurant accounting professionals have spent years perfecting the recipe for financial success in an industry where every percentage point matters.
From emerging concepts to national chains, we help restaurant owners and operators focus on what they do best: creating exceptional dining experiences. Because when you're managing inventory turns, labor percentages, and prime costs, our restaurant accountants understand the unique rhythms of restaurant finance.
“Whether expanding geographic locations, strategic partnerships, or product lines, GBQ remains an invaluable partner as we explore innovative opportunities. Additionally, their commitment to empowering growth, including that of the community, aligns with the values upon which Donatos was founded: “to give a good thing.” Our partnership with GBQ simply enables us to focus on what matters most: our employees and customers.”
“They provide excellent technical advice regarding the day-to-day operations of our businesses. They provide strategic guidance to help me shape and define the long-term vision of our company. Additionally, GBQ has provided excellent counsel relative to COVID-specific relief programs applicable to Barry Bagels. Finally, GBQ has given us direction to assist us to accomplish our philanthropic missions of being a corporate contributor to bettering communities.”
“The firm has exceeded our expectations in many ways over the years.”
“GBQ’s team made the transition from our prior accounting firm to GBQ for this year’s audit engagement so seamless. Our teams worked well together and we were all pleasantly surprised by how much easier the audit process seemed to be this year compared to prior years with our prior accounting firm.”
“Our referral to GBQ by a national firm resulted in a smooth transition that required minimal work for us and provided a responsive team that didn’t leave us waiting for answers. GBQ’s team presented not only the necessary audit results but also, presentations on fraud and cybersecurity, from which we have gained many useful ideas for our company.“
“With a small accounting team, we don’t have the time to do the type of research that is required on many of these topics, and it helps to get updates, reminders, or suggestions from GBQ. Having used a national firm in the past, we appreciate the local/regional approach that we receive from GBQ. With a national firm, it sometimes felt that we were just a tiny fish in a large pond. With GBQ, it feels like they really care about us as a client, and want to help us succeed.“
