Every new hire onboarded from a phone, every record kept.

Even a small group onboards and offboards tens to hundreds of employees a year. Every one of them is paperwork, training, an I-9 with a deadline, and a compliance record you have to be able to produce. Managers do it between rushes, on paper, and things get missed.

We saw it up close running a QSR group's back office and built Shift in a couple of months. Managers there onboard every hire on it today.

Why work with Afino.

Afino is a restaurant technology company. We started as the accounting team for a multi-unit QSR group, built software to run that work at scale, and kept solving the problems we found in the stores. The job is to make you more profitable: grow revenue, control costs, and build the capacity to open the next store.

What clean books found for one QSR group

We run their books and much of their finance operation today, on the same stack described on this page.

$300K+saved in the first six monthsRequest the full case study
  1. Third-party delivery fees properly expensed

    We found $550K of delivery fees that had never been expensed against the stores that earned the sales, and put every dollar where it belonged.

  2. Royalty payments reduced

    We read the franchise agreement and found adjustments we could make to the royalty base.

  3. Bank fees negotiated down

    We found abnormally high bank fees and negotiated them down by 70%.

How we work
  1. We are experts

    Accountants who have closed the books for multi-unit QSR groups, read the franchise agreements, and reconciled the delivery payouts.

  2. We use the best software and AI

    QuickBooks, Bill.com, Plaid, and the frontier AI models, driven by people who know what a correct close looks like.

  3. We build our own technology

    Pulse exists because we needed it. We use it every day on real books, and it gets better every month.

  4. We have solved secure access

    Invited users, scoped credentials, an audit trail on every system we touch. Your accounts stay yours.
