Bonside × KitchenSync Partnership
Do Your Restaurant Clients Have a Books Problem?
KitchenSync provides full-service bookkeeping + financial management software for multi-unit restaurant groups — so your clients can get funded faster and stay profitable longer.
Red flags to watch for:
Books are 2-3+ months behind
Missing or inaccurate financial statements
No controller/bookkeeper on staff (or they just left)
Using generic bookkeepers who don't understand restaurant operations
Can't provide clean P&Ls or balance sheets for diligence
No budget or operational visibility into unit-level performance
What KitchenSync Does
Full-Service Bookkeeping + Software Platform
Not just another bookkeeper. KitchenSync combines:
Automated bookkeeping (real humans + software)
Weekly P&Ls down to net income (not just monthly)
Budget creation & performance tracking

Why This Matters for Bonside.
Faster Diligence
Clean, accurate books = faster underwriting
QuickBooks integration = automated due diligence
Consistent chart of accounts across portfolio
Better Portfolio Performance
Weekly visibility prevents small problems from becoming big ones
Budget discipline improves margin performance
Operational metrics = proactive management
Reduced Risk
Professional bookkeeping reduces fraud/error risk
Consistent reporting for monitoring covenants (even though you don't have them!)
Better equipped to weather revenue volatility.
When to Make the Referral.
During Diligence
"Your books need cleanup before we can move forward"
"We need 12 months of clean financials"
Missing key reports or unclear financial picture
Post-Funding
"Now that you have capital, let's get your books in order"
Growth means they need to upgrade from part-time bookkeeper
Controller/CFO just left or overwhelmed
Portfolio Monitoring
Books are slipping (late reports, errors)
Margins compressing and they can't identify drivers
Need better visibility for next raise/exit
What Bonside Earns
10% of KitchenSync fees for 12 months on successful referrals
Example: 5-location client @ $1,500/month bookkeeping = $150/month × 12 = $1,800 annually
(More if client adds payroll, HR, insurance)
How It Works
