All Blue Hospitality

Services

In every All Blue restaurant, the founder's seat has been the finance and systems side: the books, the reporting, the margins. These services are that same work, applied to client engagements — each handled directly by Simon Xi, from initial diagnosis through ongoing reporting.

Bookkeeping

Restaurant-specific monthly bookkeeping: POS and payroll reconciliation, a chart of accounts built for restaurants, and a close you can trust.

Independent operators who want clean books without a back-office hire.

  • Monthly close and financial statements
  • POS, payroll, and vendor reconciliation
  • Restaurant-specific chart of accounts
  • Sales tax and tip reporting support

Consulting

Operator-to-operator guidance on concepts, openings, and day-to-day operations — grounded in building and running All Blue's own restaurants.

Owners planning an opening, a turnaround, or a next concept.

  • Concept development and openings
  • Menu and margin engineering
  • Operations and systems review
  • Vendor and lease negotiation support

Fractional CFO

Senior financial leadership on a part-time basis: forecasting, prime cost discipline, and investor-ready reporting.

Groups and growing operators who need a CFO, not a full-time salary.

  • Cash-flow forecasting and budgeting
  • Prime cost targets and tracking
  • Investor and lender reporting
  • Financing, lease, and expansion decisions

How it works

1

Introductory conversation

It starts with an email — a high-level discussion of your current books, systems, operating challenges, and priorities. You do not need perfectly organized financials before reaching out.

2

A clear proposal

Engagements are structured as a fixed project fee or monthly retainer, depending on the work. Scope, responsibilities, timeline, and deliverables are agreed before the engagement begins.

3

Ongoing partnership

Monthly close, clean reporting, and a standing cadence to talk through what the numbers mean for your next decision.

The practice works in the platforms you already use: QuickBooks Online, Restaurant365, and Toast.
