The problem

Most bookkeepers have never worked a line.

They categorize transactions, hand you a report, and call it done. They can't tell you why your food cost jumped last week — and they definitely can't help you fix it. Tabledger is built differently.

A generic accounting firm
  • Treats your restaurant like any other small business
  • Doesn't know what a healthy prime cost looks like
  • A report at month-end, then silence
  • Can't read your POS or your cost of goods
  • No advice on how to actually save money
Tabledger
  • Specialists who have lived inside F&B numbers
  • Knows the difference between theoretical and actual food cost
  • Watches your margins weekly, the way a chef watches a sauce
  • Fluent in your POS, vendors and cost of goods
  • Tells you exactly what to do next — and why
What you actually get

A full financial team, without the full-time salary.

A dedicated specialist

Not a generalist with one restaurant client. Yours understands prime cost, labor percentages and menu engineering — because food & beverage is all they do.

Powered by AI, driven by humans

Our AI was built specifically for restaurants — and it works alongside your specialist, never instead of them. Together they keep your books accurate, current and intelligent: the software handles the repetitive work automatically, every single day, so your specialist can focus on the calls that grow your margins.

Profitability, watched weekly

Every week we look for places to tighten food cost, optimize prime cost and catch what slipped through. You always know where your money is going — and what to do about it.

How it works

Set up in a weekend. Watched every day after.

01

Connect your POS & accounts

We plug into Toast, Square or whatever you run, plus your bank and vendors. No messy migration — your specialist handles setup.

02

Restaurant-trained AI, in sync with your specialist

Our AI was built for restaurants. It syncs sales, reconciles accounts and surfaces what matters — intelligently and automatically, every single day. Then your books are reviewed and signed off by human experts, so the numbers you act on are ones you can trust.

03

Your specialist advises

You get clean books, a weekly read on your margins, and a real person telling you exactly where to save — and how.

Reporting & insights

Every report a restaurant needs — standard in every plan.

Reporting and consulting come included at every tier — not bolted on. These are the essentials every restaurant should see; your accountant builds more around how your business actually runs.

Behind on your books?

Our team will bring months — or even years — of restaurant bookkeeping current, clean and audit-ready. Catch-up work is scoped and priced to your situation.

We don't just record what happened. We help you change what happens next.

Tabledger gives you a specialist who knows what a healthy food cost looks like, understands why your prime cost spiked last Tuesday, and can walk you through exactly what to do about it — backed by restaurant-trained AI that makes the work sharper, not just faster.
