People Serving People is a team of dedicated professionals who focus on restaurant accounting. We are an extension of your team. With more than 10 years of experience in developing and executing restaurant accounting solutions exclusively, you simply won’t find an accounting firm who is more dedicated and working closely together with your operations team on a daily basis than we do. We are strong believers in the Restaurant365 software package as an ideal solution for restaurateurs who have grown well beyond the ability to get prime cost on a weekly basis with a small team in the back office using Quickbooks or any other non restaurant specific solutions. PSP not only has Restaurant 365’s highest Platinum Partner Certification we have been using the platform since 2016. This gives you the peace of mind that comes only from working with an expert in all the ways restaurant management software can help grow your business.
