Case Study

Multi-Roof Restaurant Accounting

This growing restaurant group operated across multiple locations but was weighed down by disorganized paperwork, inefficient workflows, and inconsistent admin practices. They needed structure, automation, and better tools to run the business, so they could spend less time chasing invoices and more time serving customers.

Our Approach

The Challenge

Chaos Behind the Counter

Restaurant managers were overwhelmed with back-office paperwork—struggling to manage inventory, submit payments, schedule shifts, and meet deadlines. These inefficiencies led to higher labor costs, staff frustration, customer experience issues, and financial strain.

Our Solution

Smart Tools + Streamlined Systems = Operational Relief

GrowthLab implemented:

  • Hubdoc to automate document collection and centralize receipts and invoices
  • Online payment platforms to reduce manual transactions and missed payments
  • Inventory management systems to prevent overstocking and shortages
  • Optimized scheduling tools to improve shift coverage and reduce burnout



We focused on converting time-consuming tasks into efficient, trackable, and automated workflows—tailored for restaurant operations.

Thanks to the systems GrowthLab put in place:

  • 6+ hours saved weekly on paperwork and admin
  • No missed deadlines or payments since implementation
  • Lower costs and smoother operations, boosting both staff morale and customer satisfaction


With less time spent on repetitive tasks, the restaurant team now focuses on what matters most: hospitality and growth.

Your food isn’t the only thing that needs prep.

You need:
