Why Restaurants Love GSS
“With GSS, we meet our franchisor requirements on time and with accuracy. The local CPA could not handle our volume. We are so happy to have made the change. GSS knows our business and our franchisor requirements.”
“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..
“We selected GSS because of its exceptional scalability and its ability to support advanced reporting and analysis at an unbeatable cost.”
“Working with GSS has been a great partnership. They keep us compliant with our franchisor and save us money.”
“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.”
“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.”
