The Real ROI of Margin Engineering: What We See at Tablespoon

Written by TBSP | Aug 29, 2025 1:16:00 AM

When restaurant groups modernize finance, they see results. At Tablespoon, we’ve guided QSR operators through the process of leaving legacy tools behind, implementing Sage Intacct, and integrating systems like ProLiant, OnePAY, and BILL Spend & Expense.

Here’s what happens:

  • 1–3% margin improvement on average
  • Faster closes (16 days → 7 days; 7 days → 4 days)
  • Daily reconciliations instead of quarterly or monthly
  • Real-time dashboards that give operators and coaches financial visibility
  • Seamless integrations across payroll, AP, and spend

 

Real-world proof:

  • McDonald’s franchisee, Tomtreyco, cut close times in half and sped reconciliations by 120%.
  • Wendy’s franchisee, First Sun, turned quarterly reconciliations into daily ones.
  • Pizza Hut of Fort Wayne doubled in size and scaled seamlessly thanks to automation and integrations.

 

Margin engineering isn’t theory. It’s happening every day in the wild.
