Jessi Crimmins

"Hone worked with me to assess my labor spend and needs so that I was able to bring down my labor spend without affecting service."
Cheryl Straughter
Owner & Chef, Soleil Restaurant & Catering
“Operating a group of busy seasonal restaurants here on Martha's Vineyard means that time is always the resource we lack the most. Working with Hone has allowed us to make time go from being a scarcity to a surplus.”
Ashish Mitra
The Covington | The Port Hunter | Martha’s Vineyard, MA
“Being able to drill down to actual invoices and bills on a weekly cadence with a couple of clicks is much more efficient than wading through Quickbooks; having the weekly snapshots and detailed P&L available anytime is a major advantage for our team.”

Three Reasons Why so Many Restaurants Have Chosen Hone
Data-driven platform
Make smart decisions for your business. Weekly financial insights enable restaurant operators to make important changes in real-time.
Affordable Pricing
Restaurant bookkeeping and more—all for less than the price of most outsourced bookkeepers with month-to-month agreements and no hidden costs.
Worry-Free Set Up
From your POS to your accounting software and more, our team does the heavy lifting of connecting all of your systems.
The Hone dashboards are a great check on the pulse of the business: how it’s doing on a day-in-day-out basis, and allows us to identify trends—both positive and negative. We are better able to capitalize on potential profit centers, as well as nip potential losses in the bud before they get ungainly.
Understand your finances at a glance
Running the front and back of house in a restaurant is more than a full-time job, and the pressure to keep up financially can be overwhelming. Hone helps you better manage your books, so you can increase profitability and operational efficiency at your restaurant.
With your finances under control, you can focus on the fun parts of running a restaurant: tastier meals, happier staff, glowing reviews, and higher profits. That’s what we’re all about.
Forecast Sales and Controls Costs in 5 minutes per week
With running a restaurant business, you’ve got a lot on your plate. Messing with spreadsheets to forecast sales and generate budgets shouldn’t be one of those items. As your restaurant bookkeeper, Hone is already responsible for recording your data. This historical data is then used to develop sales projections and budgets for costs and expenses. You can create custom sales targets based on your knowledge about future events or change budgets to set tighter targets.
Hone turns chaos into cash, allowing you to put your time and attention on the parts of the restaurant business that you love most.
