About Bookkeeping Chef
Built by restaurant accounting veterans for NYC operators
We started Bookkeeping Chef with one mission: give New York City restaurant owners the same financial clarity that Fortune 500 companies take for granted — without the overhead of a full accounting department.

Our Mission
Ours is to run the numbers
Too many great restaurant operators are spending hours every week chasing invoices, wrestling with QuickBooks, and guessing at their food cost — when they should be on the floor with their guests. Bookkeeping Chef exists to change that.
Real-time financial visibility
Weekly prime cost reports, monthly P&Ls within 5 business days, and daily sales reconciliation — so you always know where you stand.
Restaurant-specific expertise
We understand prime cost, tip reconciliation, FICA credits, and POS integrations. We're not generalists — we speak restaurant.
Time back in your day
We take the entire back office off your plate. Payroll, bill pay, tax filings, reconciliation — handled. So you can run a better restaurant.
A partner, not a vendor
You get the same dedicated team every month — people who know your restaurant's financials as well as you do, and who are invested in your success.
