The Restaurant CFO Toolkit: Master the Metrics That Drive Profitability

Most franchisees and multi-unit QSR operators don’t have a full-time CFO. Even those who do face challenges aligning operations and accounting for full financial visibility. The pressures — thin margins, volatile labor, and delayed reporting — are just as intense as those at national chains.

Whether you were a multi-unit operator on the cusp of a CFO role or the CFO of a growing restaurant company, this session with Restaurant365 and Analytix Solutions showed how to turn fragmented data into confident, data-driven decisions. Experts shared the dashboards, metrics, and routines that drive clarity and profitability.
