Hands-on restaurant accounting and operational experience, helping owners understand the financial side of their businesses.

01

Great Food Is Only Part of Running a Successful Restaurant

Many restaurant owners start with a passion for cooking, creating great food, and delivering exceptional customer experience. But running a profitable restaurant requires more than culinary talent.

Managing food costs, labor, cash flow, pricing, and day-to-day operations can be challenging, especially when an owner's expertise is in the kitchen rather than business management.

Decision Point brings years of hands-on restaurant accounting and operational experience, helping owners understand the financial side of their businesses.

FAQ

Questions owners ask

What does a fractional CFO and COO do for a small business?

A fractional CFO and COO gives an owner-operated business senior financial and operational judgment without a full-time executive salary.

In practice that means someone who knows your numbers, sits in on the big decisions, and is available when an important question comes up, for businesses that have outgrown basic bookkeeping but don’t need a full-time CFO.

Will you work with my CPA, attorney and banker?

Yes. Running a business can involve a CPA, attorney, banker, insurance professional, payroll company, bookkeeper and other specialists.

We help make sure the right people are involved, the financial side stays organized, and you understand how the pieces fit together, so you’re not the one relaying messages between them.

How do I know if I can afford to hire another employee?

Look at the numbers before hiring. We review what the role costs fully loaded, what it has to produce to pay for itself, and what it does to cash in the months before it does.

Sometimes the answer will be yes. Sometimes there will be questions you haven’t considered. And sometimes the numbers may say it isn’t the right time.

Before the next big decision, call.

A 30-minute conversation about where the business is and what you’re weighing. No prep needed.
