THE PROBLEM
Food & beverage operates in a high-pressure environment where small misses add up fast.
Margins are tight, costs fluctuate, staffing is constant, and consistency matters. Whether you run a restaurant, café, brewery, or specialty food business, success depends on strong operational systems — not just great products.
WHO WE WORK WITH
We work best with businesses managing daily operations, hourly teams, and ongoing financial complexity — operators who want better visibility into profitability and more control over what they're building.
Built for active food and beverage operators.
Active operators managing daily service, shift teams, food cost, and the realities of front-of-house operations.
Beverage and specialty food businesses balancing production, distribution, and brand growth.
Food service operators, catering businesses, and multi-location concepts ready to scale sustainably.
WHY IT WORKS
In food & beverage, finance, marketing, and people are tightly linked. Your support should be too.
Food and labour costs affect margins immediately. Staffing decisions impact service. Marketing drives volume that affects staffing and inventory. When these areas are handled separately, operators are forced to react instead of plan.
Real visibility into food cost, labour cost, and overhead — so pricing and menu decisions are based on actual numbers, not gut.
Predictable cash flow planning aligned to your purchasing, payroll, and supplier cycles — even when sales are strong but cash is tight.
Reliable hiring, onboarding, and retention systems — reducing turnover and building more predictable operations shift after shift.

WHY TWENTY32
Why food & beverage operators choose us.
Our clients don't come to us for one-off tasks. They come for clear financial insight, fewer disconnected vendors, and support that understands operational realities.
Food cost, labour percent, COGS, prime cost — these aren't foreign concepts. They're how we structure your financial and operational support.
Real-time clarity on where money is made, where it's lost, and where it can be improved — not bookkeeping outputs that arrive too late.
Canadian tax context, employment standards, GST/HST, and provincial regulations — combined with proven hospitality industry expertise.
A full back-office team for less than the cost of a single in-house hire — without sacrificing depth, expertise, or accountability.
From single location to multi-unit operation — our level of support scales with your business through every stage of growth.
Books, people, and growth — coordinated under one team that sees how all three connect on the floor. Not three vendors in silos.

-
No. Many clients start with financial support and expand into marketing or HR as their business grows. Services are designed to work together — but are not mandatory as a bundle.
-
We work with a range of food and beverage businesses, including restaurants, cafés, bars, catering companies, breweries, distilleries, and specialty food businesses. Our services are best suited for active operators managing daily operations, staff, and ongoing financial complexity.
-
Yes. One of our core focuses is helping food and beverage businesses gain clear visibility into food costs, labour costs, overhead, and overall profitability. This allows owners to make informed decisions about pricing, staffing, and growth.
-
Pricing depends on the size, complexity, and needs of the business. Most food and beverage clients invest between $1,000 and $5,000+ per month, depending on transaction volume, staffing, and level of support required.
-
Our marketing support focuses on attracting the right volume of customers based on your capacity. This may include local SEO, digital advertising, social media, and reputation-focused visibility. Marketing decisions are aligned with staffing, operating hours, and financial goals.
-
Most businesses end up managing multiple vendors who don’t talk to each other — a bookkeeper focused only on accuracy, a marketer focused only on growth, and ad-hoc HR support when something breaks.
At Twenty32, our services are designed to work together. Financial insights inform marketing decisions, marketing growth aligns with cash flow and capacity, and people decisions are made with clarity around sustainability. This integrated approach reduces overwhelm and leads to better long-term outcomes.
