The problem

You run the restaurant week to week. Your numbers show up once a month.

By the time the monthly report lands, the high food bills, the extra labor hours and the slow week have already happened. You end up steering by the rearview mirror.

Cash that swings every week

Payroll, supplier bills, rent and sales tax hit in different weeks. Stack a few together and you come up short.

Food and labor costs creep up

Your two biggest costs rise a little at a time. You notice once the profit is already gone.

Growth on a gamble

A second location, a new concept or a big catering deal. Big bets made without knowing what could go wrong.

Illustrative example

A Monday morning with Clockwork

7:45am

Clockwork shows week nine stacks payroll, a big food supplier bill and quarterly sales tax all at once.

8:00am

You try two fixes: push the equipment purchase out a month and trim one shift during the slow stretch.

8:15am

The dip is covered with room to spare. No scramble and no borrowing to make payroll.

Why owners trust it

Built by a CFO for businesses without one.

Clockwork’s founder ran an outsourced CFO practice and couldn’t find software that gave owners real answers. So he built it.
