The work

The daily grind of restaurant books, handled.

Each workflow runs on your rules. What doesn't fit a rule goes to a person.

01

Sales to deposits

Daily POS and delivery sales matched to what actually landed in the bank, by unit, net of fees, tips, and refunds.

Waits for a person · Short or unmatched deposits over your threshold.

02

Distributor invoices

Broadline and specialty invoices read, coded to food, paper, or supplies, and split to the right unit.

Waits for a person · Price jumps, credits not applied, new vendors.

03

Prime cost reporting

Food, paper, and labor against sales per unit, weekly or by period, from the posted books.

Waits for a person · Units outside the ranges you set.

04

Exception review

One queue of everything that didn't match a rule, with the source attached and the right reviewer named.

Waits for a person · Everything in it, by design.

Questions

What people ask before a walkthrough.

Does Lieutenant run payroll?

No. Payroll stays with your existing payroll provider. Lieutenant uses payroll reports to post labor and build prime cost.

Which POS and delivery platforms work?

We confirm your specific POS, delivery, and bank connections during scoping. Where no direct connection exists, we agree on an export path.

How often are sales matched?

On the cadence agreed in scope, commonly daily. It depends on when each source system makes data available, so we don't promise real time.

Who approves distributor invoices?

Whoever your rules name, often a GM or area manager per unit. Lieutenant prepares and routes; approvals stay with your people.

Start with last week's deposits.
