Frequently Asked Questions

Our two primary service pillars are Accounting Services and Operations Consulting. We help restaurant groups clean up their financial infrastructure, track performance with precision, and build systems that drive scalable, profitable operations.

In addition to accounting and ops consulting, TRIS provides:

• ERP and Systems Implementations (Restaurant365, QuickBooks, Intacct, and more)
• Fractional CFO Services
• Cash flow and forecasting support
• Menu engineering and recipe costing
• Vendor management, payroll support, and third-party reconciliation
  All services are modular and tailored to your current structure. We plug into your existing workflow and enhance it, not replace it.
  

 We solve the most common pain points restaurant operators face, including:

• Unclear financial performance and reporting
• High food and labor costs without explanation
• Manual accounting processes that drain time and accuracy
• Disconnected or misused systems like POS or inventory platforms
• Lack of cash flow visibility and budgeting structure
• Difficulty scaling due to operational inefficiencies

Our core service areas include:

• Restaurant Accounting
• Operations Consulting
• R365 and ERP Implementations
• Fractional CFO Leadership Support

Each is designed to meet operators where they are and grow alongside them as they scale.

We’re not just accountants or consultants. We’re former operators, controllers, CFOs, accountants, finance directors, implementation specialists, revenue managers, and restaurant systems experts. Our team is made up of professionals who’ve built, scaled, and optimized restaurant groups from the inside out — across finance, operations, HR, tech, and compliance.

TRIS is built specifically for restaurants and designed to integrate into your business without forcing you to conform to rigid systems. Where other firms require you to fit their model, we build around yours. We’re the flexible, multidisciplinary partner in an industry often dominated by one-size-fits-all providers.

We assign dedicated point people for each client and operate with real-time visibility into your financials and operations. Whether it’s daily sales, an urgent cash flow question, or a vendor issue, our team is structured for fast, clear, and contextual support, not canned responses or ticket systems.
