We Are The Food Bookkeeper
Specialized bookkeeping for restaurants, bars, cafes, bakeries, food trucks and catering businesses, led by a former catering and pizzeria owner. We’ve supported 100+ food and beverage clients representing over $100M in annual restaurant revenue, so you gain financial clarity and can focus on growth.
Who We Are
Running a restaurant is brutal on margins. Food costs change every week, payroll is a constant puzzle, and the books are usually the last thing anyone has time to look at. But without clean numbers, it is almost impossible to know where the money is going or how to fix it.
The Food Bookkeeper exists to change that. We turn messy restaurant numbers into clear, simple reports so you can see what you really made, what you owe, and where profit is leaking each month.
Led by a Former Restaurant Owner
Founded by Chris Adams, a finance professional with both accounting expertise and hands-on food industry experience, our firm was created to bridge the gap between restaurant operations and financial management. We work exclusively with food and beverage businesses, bringing you bookkeeping and financial guidance that actually fits how restaurants run day to day.
Our team partners with owners, operators, and food entrepreneurs to put dependable numbers behind every decision, so you can grow with confidence instead of guessing.
