Retail, Hospitality & Leisure

Weekly numbers for businesses that trade every day

Retail and hospitality run on thin margins, high staff turnover, seasonal cash and relentless compliance. We provide the weekly discipline, payroll and cost control to keep the business profitable through the year.

What gets in the way

The challenges we see most often

01

Gross margin, weekly

By the time monthly accounts arrive, four weeks of stock loss or price slippage has already happened. We set up weekly gross margin and wage percentage reporting so problems are caught in days.

02

Payroll for shift teams

High turnover, variable hours, tips, tronc and holiday accrual make payroll complex. We run it accurately and keep pension enrolment and right-to-work checks compliant.

03

Supplier and utility costs

Food, drink, utilities, card processing and waste contracts are often unreviewed. We benchmark and renegotiate them, and put simple controls in place so savings last.
