The Common Thread
Regardless of concept, size, or location — restaurants, bars, breweries, franchises, and fine dining rooms all share a common set of financial realities: thin margins, complex payroll, variable revenue, and the ever-present risk of cash flow surprises. At the center of it all is prime cost — the combination of labor and food/beverage cost — which is the single most important number driving your profitability.
Frye Advisors built systems and reporting specifically around these shared realities, with prime cost tracking at the core of everything we deliver. Our processes aren't adapted from general accounting — they're designed from the ground up for the food & beverage industry.
Industry averages — actual figures vary by concept and market.
