Improve profitability with restaurant-centric bookkeeping and insights.

Serving independently owned restaurants in the Washington, DC metro area.

Informative
books.

Illuminated opportunities.

Increased
margins.

As a restaurateur, you’ve got great crowds, great food, great service, and a great vibe. So why aren’t you making more money?

Sure, restaurant margins are razor-thin, and profits always slip through the cracks. But even if you could find time to analyze the books, those cracks aren’t usually obvious. Getting to the bottom of the problem means getting in the weeds. As they say, “The devil’s in the details.” But where do you begin? It’s overwhelming.

Gain the clarity you deserve.

I’m Justin, founder of FSR Logic, and I’ve been there, too. My restaurant was doing well, but my gut told me it could be more successful. As a numbers guy, I knew my books should show me where I needed to focus, but they didn’t. Everything was sorted into generic categories that revealed nothing of real significance.

That’s why, over time, I refined a restaurant bookkeeping process that served up the finite detail I needed. I found the small gaps that added up to bigger gains and finally took my bottom line from good to great. Now, I help other owners do the same.

Having someone well-versed in the books is one thing but having a strategic advisor who truly understands restaurant operations is the icing on the cake.

Here’s what you can expect.

Pristine books.

With a restaurant-specific chart of accounts, we break down broad categories with precision. So instead of one line item for “wages and salaries,” we track payroll by the specific department, from front-of-house to back-of-house; and instead of “bar sales,” we track draft beer, bottled beer, wine, and liquor. That same level of scrutiny is applied to everything.

Powerful insights.

With pristine books in place, we now have accurate and real-time visibility into the key drivers of profitability. You can expect insight reports that detail results and trends against benchmarks and targets for every aspect of your business, including revenue, CoGS, payroll, key operating expenses, and cash flow.

Together, they help us capture every ounce of profit, ensuring your bottom line rightfully reflects the time, energy, capital, and heart you’ve invested in your restaurant’s success.

40% Bottom Line Growth

Despite a local restaurant's $2.8M revenue and steady customer flow, unclear financial insights were limiting profitability. We conducted a deep review of their books, uncovering inefficiencies and implementing detailed tracking across revenue streams. Monthly insights into costs like CoGS and labor provided the clarity needed for strategic decision-making. As a result, the restaurant streamlined operations without sacrificing quality, adding $130,000 to its bottom line and boosting profitability by 40%, all while maintaining the same sales level as the previous year.

15% Plate Cost Reduction

Despite steady customer traffic, an upscale-casual American restaurant was seeing profits held back by high food costs. We took a close look at their menu and supplier setup, identifying low-margin items, high-cost ingredients going to waste, and supplier prices that hadn’t been reviewed in a while. By refining the menu, renegotiating vendor contracts, and standardizing recipes, the restaurant cut down on waste and ran more efficiently. In just two months, food gross profit rose by 15% without sacrificing quality, boosting overall profitability and elevating the guest experience.

20% Gain in Labor Efficiency

A popular neighborhood restaurant was feeling the pinch of labor costs that didn’t match up with their revenue, but they lacked the details to see where the real issues were. We stepped in to reorganize payroll reporting, uncovering hidden costs like kitchen overtime and front-of-house overstaffing. With this new clarity, management fine-tuned schedules to cut unnecessary hours and align staffing with their busiest times. Within two months, they saw a 20% improvement in their labor-to-revenue ratio, boosting profits and lifting employee morale.

Is it worth it?

(Plus, answers to other common questions.)

At this point, you’re probably thinking, “Yeah, but how much?” My answer is always the same: “Way less than you’re likely leaving on the table.” One of my clients put it this way, “I wasn’t sure if I could afford you. Now, I know I can’t afford not to have you.”

These thoughts may be crossing your mind, too…

How is FSR Logic different from a generic bookkeeping service

K
L

Most bookkeeping services begin with data entry and end with account reconciliation—treating it as a backward-looking task. At FSR Logic, we take a different approach. We specialize in restaurant operations, translating your financials into real-time insights that align with how restaurants actually generate profit: prime costs, labor efficiency, category-level CoGS, inventory control and much more. By maintaining restaurant-specific books and delivering key metrics through our centralized dashboard, owners gain real-time visibility into the numbers that matter most—empowering faster, smarter decisions.

How does FSR Logic use financial data to help guide decisions?

K
L

We don’t tell restaurant owners how to run their business—we give them the clarity to run it their way, with confidence. By translating your financial data into a story, you can spot the small adjustments that make a big difference. By acting on the right financial metrics, even minor tweaks can turn into major bottom line wins.

Can we just use you for reporting and insights, not full bookkeeping?

K
L

Yes. Some clients have internal bookkeepers and lean on us for reporting, cleanup, or restaurant-specific analysis. We’re flexible and can fill the exact gap you need.

What does the onboarding process look like?

K
L

It varies based on how up-to-date and accurate your current books are. Once we’re connected to your POS, accounting, payroll, and vendors, (you name it, we work with it) we tailor your books and reporting to match how your restaurant actually runs. Our Basic package is typically delivered within 30 days, with the full Essentials package built out over the following 30.

What should I expect in terms of costs for your services?

K
L

Pricing depends on the package you choose, but it’s always flat and predictable—no hourly billing, no surprise fees. We work month-to-month with no long-term contracts, so you’re never locked in.

Let’s talk.

We’re passionate about restaurants, and we love numbers, which is why we offer free consultations that often lead to a complimentary review of your books. Either way, you’ll walk away with a few valuable insights, no strings attached. Because the bottom line is this: if your gut is telling you better is possible, it probably is. Let’s build out corporate-level financial processes that deliver the returns you deserve.
