The Stakes
What This Quietly Costs You.
1 monthhow late most operators learn about last month’s problems
$5,864to replace one hourly employee, and it never shows on your P&L
35%of vendor invoices carry an overcharge most operators never catch
One Team, One Platform
An Affordable Back Office Team For Independent Restaurant Owners.
When you own one location or a small group, you are the bookkeeper, the HR department, and the cash-flow planner on top of running the floor. Kit takes all of that off your head and runs it on one screen: finance, full payroll and HR, banking, and cash flow, handled by a dedicated team of staff accountants, a senior accountant, and a relationship manager who know your business by name.
It replaces the multi-vendor stack most owners cobble together - Restaurant365, Bill.com, MarginEdge, Paylocity, Gusto, 7shifts, and standalone restaurant banking - for roughly a third of what those tools cost together. Kit owns the general ledger directly and integrates with Toast, so your numbers reconcile themselves. Your weekly P&L is finalized within 36 hours of week-end, in plain English, with no accounting degree required.
You get a clear, current cash picture and a 90-day forecast instead of month-old surprises. Catching the 35% of vendor invoices that carry an overcharge, the roughly $40,000 a year of food-cost gap on a $1M location, and the $5,864 it costs to replace one hourly employee all happen quietly in the background. Onboarding takes about two weeks, days, not months, and ten years of Restaurant365 history migrates in 45 minutes.
Questions
Independent Owner FAQs.
What does an independent owner actually get with Kit?
The whole back office, run for you on one screen: finance, full payroll and HR, banking, and cash flow, plus a dedicated team of staff accountants, a senior accountant, and a relationship manager. It replaces a stack of tools like Restaurant365, Bill.com, MarginEdge, Paylocity, Gusto, and 7shifts, for roughly a third of what that multi-vendor stack costs.
When do I see my weekly P&L?
Within 36 hours of week-end. Kit closes and reconciles the week automatically, so you read finalized numbers in plain English while you can still act on them, instead of finding out about last month's problems a month too late. No accounting degree required.
Can Kit pay my staff and tips quickly?
Yes. Kit runs full payroll and pays tips same day or next morning, so your team is not waiting on a pay cycle. Banking and payouts are powered by Priority Technologies (NASDAQ: PRTH), built into the platform.
I only have one location. Is this overkill?
No. Kit is built for owners with one location or a small group who wear every hat. You get the same dedicated team and integrated platform a large group gets, sized and priced for you, for about a third of the multi-vendor stack. Onboarding takes about two weeks, days, not months.
Will Kit replace my POS and my current systems?
Kit integrates with Toast and other POS systems and reconciles their data automatically; Toast is a partner, not a competitor. It does replace the back-office stack, owning the general ledger directly so there is no separate accounting system underneath. Ten years of Restaurant365 history migrates in 45 minutes.
