A busy café isn’t always a profitable café

Rising ingredient costs, staffing, card fees and VAT can quickly eat into what you make. When the numbers aren’t clear, it’s difficult to know whether your prices are working or where your attention is needed.

  • Knowing what’s really left after all your costs

  • Keeping prices in step with supplier increases

  • Understanding whether staffing levels are right

  • Preparing for VAT, tax and upcoming payments

  • Deciding when you can afford to hire, invest or grow

Common café questions

Can you work with the till and payment systems we already use?

Yes. We’ll review how sales and payments flow through your till, card provider and bank, then agree the most reliable way to keep everything organised.

Can you help us understand our food, drink and staffing costs?

Yes. We can help you track the figures that matter, understand what is affecting your margins and identify where closer attention may be needed.

Can you help if we want to open another site?

Yes. We can help you assess the likely costs, cash requirements and effect on your existing business before you commit.

Will changing accountants be difficult?

No. Once you give us permission, we’ll contact your current accountant and manage the professional handover for you.
