Recommended Vendors

Hey y'all! Just wanted to shoot you a list of the vendor/merchant partners I'm working with to start my business. They offer great products and services and will compensate you for referring new customers to them. So read, click, and copy and paste into your own blog!

If you're starting a restaurant tell Hava over at Parsley App that Jase Grimm said you should get a free trial to his food costing/kitchen inventory management software.  Every good restaurant is built on a solid food costing percentage calculations; pick a food cost percentage goal for your restaurant based on your industry/menu items and stick to it. 

For a great digital display company contract Brandi Booth at Raydiant, it’s a great company that allows you to change your menu displays second by second, display social media feeds, create to do lists or communicate with your team. You could even video conference with your entire staff from home. They run specials for free hardware or monthly fees so check back often for the best price. 

On the front of house side of things, check out 
Then contact Katie at Toast about securing a POS system/online sales and marketing solution and mention Jase Grimm at Uncommon Fruit sent you for a great CC processing rate and 10% off hardware.


For Bookkeeping use Bench Bookkeeping for a free first month of the most thorough bookkeeping service I’ve ever used. You have basically constant contact with your bookkeeper and some of the most impressive budget metrics/monitoring devices I’ve ever seen.
Contact Abbie Betz at Gusto Payroll for integrated Payroll Services for your first month free, they’re a great team who makes paying out employees a breeze.
