Cheryl Straughter

“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
Save Time On Accounting
With you books done by veteran operators and restaurant bookkeepers, we will save you time and help you grow!
Spend Less On Bookkeeping
We are cheaper than most outsourced bookkeeping services because we leverage technology to give you more value for less.
Improve Your Bottom Line
With weekly operations-focused reporting & insights, you can proactively manage costs and drive revenue.
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 Control 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.
Streamlined Communications So You Spend Less Time On Email Or Phonecalls
Back-office tasks are for your day off, right? OR maybe take an actual day off and let your bookkeeper do the work! Hone streamlines communications with your bookkeeper. Requests from your bookkeeper live on your dashboard; got 5 minutes between service periods, use the chat interface to quickly knock them out. See something odd on your P&L? Flag it with a quick note right on the report, and track the status as your bookkeeper responds and addresses the issue.

Built By Restaurant Industry Veterans
