Hospitality-Focused Bookkeeping That Lets You Focus

on Guests

Running a restaurant is hectic—balancing inventory, staffing, and service while keeping diners happy. Bookkeeping shouldn’t be another source of stress. Straight Talk CPAs' restaurant-focused accounting services give you clear, accurate financials without pulling you away from the things that matter most: your food, your team, and your guests.


Reliable Numbers, Actionable Insights


We don’t just record transactions. We provide context so you can make smarter decisions:

  • Track menu profitability
  • Control food costs
  • Manage labor expenses
  • Plan for busy or slow seasons

No confusing jargon. No surprises. Just financial clarity you can trust.

Beyond Bookkeeping: Financial Insight That Helps You Grow

Bookkeeping isn’t just tracking transactions—it’s about understanding what the numbers are telling you.

Our team goes beyond reporting to provide actionable insights:

  • Which menu items or locations are most profitable
  • Where food or labor costs are spiking
  • How much cash should be set aside for taxes, equipment upgrades, or slow seasons


We make sure you understand the “why” behind the numbers, so that you can make proactive decisions rather than reacting to surprises.
