Free Prime Cost Audit for Restaurant Owners
Stop Guessing. Start Understanding What Your Numbers Are Really Telling You.
Schedule Your Free Prime Cost Audit
Running a restaurant takes grit, heart, and a whole lot of moving pieces.
Between food costs, beverage costs, labor, payroll, vendors, scheduling, repairs, and the daily demands of serving guests, it can be hard to know whether your restaurant is truly as profitable as it feels.
That is where your prime cost comes in.
Your prime cost is one of the most important numbers in your restaurant. It combines your cost of goods sold with your labor costs, giving you a clearer picture of how much it takes to serve every plate, pour every drink, and keep your team running strong.
As a special giveaway during the Texas Restaurant Show, we are offering a Free Prime Cost Audit to help restaurant owners take a closer look at the numbers that matter most.
What Is a Prime Cost Audit?
A Prime Cost Audit is a focused review of your food, beverage, and labor costs so you can better understand how they are affecting your bottom line.
During this audit, we will help you look at things like:
Your food and beverage costs
Your labor costs
Your overall prime cost percentage
Where costs may be creeping up
Whether your numbers are in a healthy range
Opportunities to improve profitability
This is not about making you feel bad about your numbers.
It is about giving you clarity.
Because once you know what is really happening behind the scenes, you can make stronger, more confident decisions for your restaurant.
How the Free Audit Works
This free audit is not completed onsite at the expo.

Once your call is scheduled, we will let you know what basic information may be helpful to have ready, such as recent sales, food and beverage costs, payroll costs, or financial reports if available.
During the scheduled call, we will walk through your prime cost together, talk through what the numbers mean, and help you identify areas that may need attention.
You do not need to be an accounting expert.
You do not need perfect books.
You just need to be ready to take a better look at what your restaurant numbers are trying to tell you.
Who This Is For
This free audit is a great fit for restaurant, bar, cafe, coffee shop, and food service owners who want to better understand their numbers.
Especially if you have ever wondered:
Why are sales up but cash still feels tight?
Are my food costs too high?
Am I spending too much on labor?
Is my restaurant actually profitable?
What numbers should I be watching each month?
Are my books giving me the full picture?
Am I making decisions based on facts or just gut feeling?
If any of those sound familiar, this audit is for you.
Why Prime Cost Matters
Prime cost is one of the clearest ways to see how efficiently your restaurant is operating.
Revenue tells you what came in.
Prime cost helps show what it took to earn that revenue.
When food, beverage, and labor costs are not being watched closely, profit can quietly slip out the back door. A few points here and there may not seem like much in the moment, but over time, those numbers can make a big difference.
Understanding your prime cost can help you make better decisions around pricing, staffing, scheduling, purchasing, vendor costs, and overall profitability.
What You Will Walk Away With
After your Prime Cost Audit, you will have a clearer understanding of where your restaurant stands and what your numbers may be showing you.
You will walk away with:
A better understanding of your prime cost
A clearer look at food, beverage, and labor costs
Insight into where profit may be getting squeezed
Helpful next steps to improve visibility into your numbers
A stronger sense of confidence around your restaurant finances
Our goal is to make the numbers feel less overwhelming and more useful.
No scare tactics.
No confusing accounting talk.
Just honest, helpful guidance from people who understand both restaurants and bookkeeping.
Built for Restaurant Owners Who Have Enough on Their Plate
We know food service because we have lived it.
From catering to serving, bartending, managing, and working behind the scenes, we understand the pace, pressure, and heart it takes to run a food business.
We also know that bookkeeping often gets pushed to the bottom of the list because there is always something more urgent happening.
But your numbers matter.
They tell the story of your business.
And when they are organized, accurate, and reviewed regularly, they can help you protect your profit, plan ahead, and build a business that supports you instead of wearing you down.
