Frequently Asked Questions About TRIS Solutions
At TRIS, we understand that restaurant owners, operators, and finance leaders often have questions before choosing a partner. Our FAQ section brings together clear, straightforward answers about our services, from accounting and Fractional CFO support to Restaurant365 implementations and operational consulting.
What are your two primary services?
Our core offerings are Outsourced Finance & Accounting and Hospitality Systems Optimization.
As a boutique firm, we tailor these services to the unique needs of each client; no cookie-cutter approach. Whether it’s cash flow forecasting or full ERP implementation, we design flexible solutions that match your operational reality.
What other services do you offer?
TRIS offers a wide range of customizable financial and operational solutions, including:
• Fractional CFO services
• Payroll and labor reporting
• Vendor and cost analysis
• Restaurant365 implementation
• Location onboarding and scaling support
• Inventory and recipe costing
• SOP design and operational rollout
• POS, ERP, and hospitality tech integration
Every service is modular and adaptable; because no two restaurant groups operate the same, and we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all.
What business problems do you solve?
We help hospitality operators:
Eliminate manual reporting and system chaos
Solve food cost and labor inefficiencies
Connect financial systems and dashboards across locations
