As a restaurant with 40 taps and very active craft beer program, we can end up with a significant keg inventory. With the help of the RASI team we developed a very efficient way to track how many kegs we have in house and proactively pursue credits for the returns.  At $30 per keg…this can add up quickly and we have a goal to keep a cap value of keg deposits on the books now.

Additionally, we saw the value of having weekly financials immediately.  It was odd getting used to having 13 (4) week periods, but in our first year of operation it has been extremely beneficial; Because we’re spending less time gathering and entering data we’re able to focus on our staff and customers.  We are able to measure our activities through profitability and certainly that is helping us bring more to the bottom line.

Finally, weekly payroll also helps to see your performance in a week over week perspective – in smaller segments.  We’re of course able to roll up the numbers and look at it in larger chunks, but the ability to see daily and weekly impacts on business through labor is key to cutting early and scheduling more efficiently. We have made modifications weekly to how we operate because of the reporting from RASI and we’ve seen a 4% increase in NOI since starting with RASI.

This operation is the fourth restaurant I have been associated with that utilizes RASI. I cannot impress upon restaurateurs the invaluable nature of RASI. For the cost of a part-time bookkeeper, you receive profit and loss statements, food and pour costs percentages, labor, payroll, and all taxes paid and filed on time.

There is also help with menu engineering and cost of goods analysis; it really is the epitome of one-stop shopping with five-star service.

For a restaurant of any size, from small 40-seat houses to an establishment with 200 seats, RASI satisfies all your needs. The best thing is that as an owner/manager you can access reports, including sales, remotely at any time. I have sat on the beach in Maui and processed payroll and looked at the previous days sales. I wholeheartedly recommend RASI, it’s a godsend.

I have been in the restaurant industry for over 28 years now form independents to the corporate level and I have experienced all sorts of accounting companies and philosophies. RASI by far and away, is the most impressive accounting firm I have ever experienced.

They start with getting to know you and your business so when everything is ready to go they understand the needs of the restaurant and build everything off of those. The training is done over a 16-week period and is extremely thorough and patient. Their support is unmatched. You are able to call or email with as many questions as needed and they are quick, efficient, and thorough in their responses.

They understand the business so well that they are able to help you with the best practice philosophy to ensure you are on the right path to success. Every single person I have come in contact with is professional, courteous, and very helpful. Accounting is difficult & time-consuming. With RASI we’ve saved 25+ hours a week which has allowed us to focus more heavily on the day-to-day operations of the restaurant.
