What we do
Know where every food dollar goes.
Restaurateurs should spend less time wrestling with spreadsheets and more time serving their guests. Garde gives operators real-time insights, automation and credentialed advisory, without the complexity or the cost of a legacy firm.
-
Insights, live
Every sale, cost and variance tracked in real time rather than at month-end. Cost spikes are flagged within hours, vendor price drift is detected automatically, and labour overtime is caught before it triggers.
-
Five AI agents
COGS, Labor, P&L, Ops and Revenue agents run around the clock: ingesting invoices, benchmarking vendor prices, adjusting schedules, pushing the sales journal to QuickBooks and drafting review responses. The operator approves; the agents do the work.
-
Advisory without the legacy firm
Credentialed restaurant accountants handle journals, reconciliations and the accrual close, so the numbers are trustworthy in days rather than weeks.
Restaurants sign with us and expect to be live in 45 days.

Culture
How we work together.
We win together and we lose together.
-
Start with the operator.
Every decision starts with the restaurant owner on the other end. We speak kitchen language, not accounting jargon.
What an operator needs beats what suits us.
-
Accuracy is the job.
Clients make real money decisions on the numbers we hand them. No plug accounts, and audit before you publish.
Get it right, then make it fast.
-
Get leverage.
AI is a teammate, not a demo. We work with agents every day: the operator approves, the agents do the work.
You do not need to code. You need to be curious.
-
Own it end to end.
You run your work from start to finished. If something is not done it is yours: you are the person who cleans it, not the one who complains about it.
Say it early. No surprises, no quiet failures.
-
Be frank.
Say the hard thing to anyone, at any level, before the decision, then commit fully once it is made. Success is never quiet, and neither are problems.
Frank is not unkind.
-
Move, then learn.
We would rather ship something small this week and be wrong about part of it than plan for a month and be certain.
Do it, then learn.
Process
How we hire.
Four steps, whatever the role.
-
Apply
A few minutes. Your experience, the tools you have used, and the hours you can work.
-
Record a Loom
Two minutes: who you are, one problem you solved that you are proud of, and why Garde. Applications without a Loom are not considered.
-
Two calls
A screening call, then a final call with the team.
-
Offer
Start as soon as possible.
Growth
Investing in people who want to win.
-
Real ownership, early
Small team, real scope. You own your work from start to finished rather than a slice of someone else's.
What you build stays yours to run, and the results are visibly yours.
-
You will get better, fast
The bar is high and the feedback is direct. You will hear what is working and what is not while there is still time to act on it.
Growth is part of the job here, not a perk attached to it.
-
AI as a teammate
Claude in the terminal, automated audits, and the internal systems we build around them. You will work alongside them every day.
You will leave more capable than you arrived, whatever you do next.
-
Learn how money actually moves
Restaurants are unforgiving about numbers. You will learn where margin is made and lost, in detail.
That understanding transfers to any business you touch afterwards.
