Why Restaurants Love GSS
“As we grew from 10 to 80 units, our reporting requirements grew in complexity and our volume became overwhelming to manage in-house, GSS was able to scale efficiently with us - matching the skill level needed in each step of growth.
Multi-Unit Taco Bell CEO
“We selected GSS because of its exceptional scalability and its ability to support advanced reporting and analysis at an unbeatable cost.”
Multi-Unit Jimmy John's Owner
“We started with GSS because we had 300% turnover in our CFO role. We had IRS audits and a default with our lender for reporting requirements. Within four months of working with GSS, these issues were resolved, and we got back to the business of running our restaurants. We feel protected working with GSS.”
Multi-Unit Fast Casual Chicken Restaurant CEO
“GSS’s unique background in corporate accounting allowed us to build a shared services team with GSS’s team at the center led by our senior staff. This high-powered group provides corporate services used by our multiple entities managing over 400 restaurants. We could not find an operator with GSS’s depth of talent and cost efficiencies.”
Multi-Brand, Multi-Unit COO
“Working with GSS has been a great partnership. They keep us compliant with our franchisor and save us money.”
Multi-Unit Burger King Owner
“GSS’s take the guesswork out of the back office. They bring the best technology for restaurants and their first-rate staff are a pleasure to work with.”

Stay up to date with the latest trends, insights and conversations.
From email to social media to traditional advertising, there are many ways to invite current and potential clients to engage with your business. However, your website is your most powerful tool when it comes to developing meaningful relationships and giving people a comprehensive view of your team, offerings, and ways in which you can help enhance their lives or solve problems. GSS took these benefits into account as we recently designed and unveiled our new site . Our intention revolves around a renewed ability to connect with clients, to showcase our competitive edge, reflect the current state of our services , and introduce strategies involved in helping restauranteurs gain an advantage. Based on my experience, I thought I’d share some ideas to consider regarding your restaurant's digital footprint. Intention is Key Along with awareness, business owners should consider what they want to convey through their website. Do you have a unique menu offering? A team of caring employees? High quality of service? Are you perfect for a lunch date or a family dinner after a sporting event? As your business evolves, make sure your website is updated to mirror that progress and build credibility with your customers. Reflecting Growth and Innovation A redesigned or updated site will allow you to showcase new menu offerings, testimonials, or community involvement which highlight your restaurant's evolution. For instance, GSS recently expanded our accounting and business intelligence services to include payroll . It's a move that communicates our commitment to staying ahead in the restaurant accounting sector and is now a significant part of our website. Enhancing User Experience User experience is equal to customer experience when it comes to technology. When someone visits your website, you want to ensure that their digital experience is as pleasant as the service they'll receive inside your restaurant. Paying attention to technological upgrades and trends such as faster load times, more intuitive navigation, and better mobile responsiveness can give you the upper hand in retaining visitors and encouraging engagement. If you offer a mobile ordering app , you'll want to keep a close eye on that experience while also keeping your menu, hours, and other information up to date. Boosting SEO and Visibility HubSpot reminds us that search engines prioritize websites that offer fresh content and up-to-date information. You want potential customers to hang out as long as possible on the site because that will continue to inform search engines that you are worthy of a higher ranking. By updating your website periodically, you can prioritize improving search engine optimization (SEO), a critical component of using the power of Google and other engines to drive traffic and boost sales. Final Thoughts GSS went into the web design process to create a seamless user experience, including streamlining navigation, enhancing content, and providing tools to drive business success. However, as Harvard Business Review says, "Businesses can't improve operations without honest and substantive feedback."
Fall is a time for thinking through systems, processes and vendors to strengthen your business through care and continuity.
When you run a restaurant, you are in the relationship business. Relationships are the heart of your business. If they cease, pain is felt.
Your talent is one of your organization’s largest costs and also your greatest asset. And don’t you want to better recruit and retain talent?
Are you ready to take accounting off your plate—and scale your business?
