You didn’t open a restaurant to stress about spreadsheets. But if you’re like most owners, you’ve found yourself trapped in the cycle of working harder and earning less.
Hi, I’m Kasey Anton — former restaurant owner turned Profit First coach and author of Profit First for Restaurants. I help restaurant owners flip the script on cash flow and finally start seeing the financial return they deserve.
I’ve spent the last 15 years helping hundreds of hospitality businesses fix their profit leaks, streamline operations, and gain full control of their finances — without sacrificing their passion or burning out.
Easy to read and understand! This book provides practical ways to start being a profitable restaurant. Intention behind every dollar. Profit first is not a strategy but a mindset! I would recommend this book to everyone who is starting their restaurant or if you have a one that is drowning in debt. READ PROFIT FIRST AND SAVE YOUR BUSINESS!!!!

If you are a restaurant or in the food service industry — Profit First for Restaurants is a cash management game changer for profitability as measured by cold-hard cash in the bank correlating to your profit.
Profit First is especially valuable if you ever want to sell your business, or if have business partners, or investors, because nothing is more delicious than a successful and profitable restaurant. This book is loaded with practical advice — I recommend getting the companion workbook that provides more opportunity to go in deeper.
Dare I say the author makes getting into your numbers fun and insightful without being hard or overwhelming.
P.S. Also recently discovered there is a related podcast by the author called “NO RESERVATIONS” that is nourishing to snack on, too.

I read the book last year — it’s pretty straightforward.
Opened the bank accounts, but couldn’t get my bookkeeper (who was cheap, but no bueno) to help me dial it in for our business. (This book was recommended by a friend with a few restaurants in San Diego).
After not getting what I wanted, I ponied up the extra coin to work with Kasey’s firm, Spark, and HOLY GUACAMOLE!!!! We are rolling in the green now!!!!
Thank you Kasey for bringing the part of the business I didn’t appreciate (the numbers), to now being the part that I love because the stress of making payroll and paying taxes is now gone!!!!
P.S. Love her podcast, “No Reservations,” too!

A delicious read — sorry — restaurateur here and can’t resist the pun!!?!!
Seriously, this book has been a game changer for us. It’s been about 10 months since we implemented the principles of Profit First for Restaurants and it has provided more clarity to our numbers and helped us finally improve our profitability.
Where there is a will there is a way — and Profit First is the way with Kasey’s guidance and accountability.

Found Kasey's podcast, No Reservations on Apple Podcasts, and then discovered her book, Profit First for Restaurants. Then, we started working with her team at Spark to take care of our bookkeeping!
While we may be paying more for bookkeeping bs than our prior bookkeeper, we have cash in the bank to correlate to our profits and are way more profitable now than before! So, I consider our move to Spark the best return on investment a restaurant can make.
We are LOVING our numbers now thanks to Spark and their consultative approach to our business finances, accounting, and cash management.
(The real secret is the cash management that's Profit First!)

As a hospitality student, this book was such an amazing help in understanding the accounting behind restaurants. It breaks down managing restaurant finances in a way that actually makes sense and focuses on making sure your business stays profitable.
The tips are super practical and easy to follow, and I know I’ll be using them in my future career.
Highly recommend this to anyone studying or working in restaurants!
