For accounting firms and outsourced CFOs

Every restaurant client, on one system you control.

The cost of a restaurant client isn't the accounting. It's the invoice volume.

A single restaurant can generate hundreds of vendor invoices a month, and most of the work in a restaurant close is getting those coded correctly rather than producing the statements.

DishBooks connects directly to major distributors and processes uploaded invoices from everyone else, coding line items to the right category automatically. Map an item once and it stays mapped — so the volume stops scaling your hours.

One structure across the client book, instead of one setup per client.

When every client is configured differently, nothing transfers — not a review process, not a report, not a staff member moving between accounts. Standardizing restaurant clients on DishBooks means the same categories, the same vendor handling, and the same reports everywhere, so your team's time goes into judgment rather than orientation.

Close faster because the reconciliation is already most of the way done.

Bank transactions are matched automatically against invoices and recorded activity, leaving exceptions rather than a full manual pass. The month-end work becomes reviewing what didn't match instead of working through everything that did.

Hand clients a report that answers the question, not one that starts a meeting.

Restaurant owners want to know what their prime cost is doing and why. Custom reporting lets you build the operator-facing view once and share it per client and per location, and Dex answers the follow-up questions directly — so fewer of them arrive in your inbox.
