Case Study: The Restaurant People achieves a 20% reduction in accounting resources with Restaurant365

The Restaurant People Goes Digital with Restaurant365 and Saves 20% in Accounting Resources

The Restaurant People, a Florida hospitality group founded in 1997, faced fragmented, paper-heavy accounting as it expanded beyond Fort Lauderdale and outgrew Sage. CFO Michael Zielinski sought to centralize invoices and back-office systems across multiple locations and selected Restaurant365’s restaurant-specific accounting and back-office platform to replace multiple third‑party tools.

Restaurant365 digitized their records—eliminating six filing cabinets—unified master customer and vendor lists, and hyperlinked invoices to the general ledger so managers can retrieve copies in three clicks. Using Restaurant365 and its restaurant-focused support, The Restaurant People reduced manual work and payroll processing time, improved accounting-operations communication, and cut accounting resources by 20% while adding eight new locations.
