Das Davor — three restaurants, three realities.
Cascade grew by acquisition, which meant it inherited whatever each restaurant already ran. "Two were on Toast, one was on Square, and they didn't agree on anything," says Diego Reyes, Owner. "Payroll was Gusto. The real accounting happened in QuickBooks at midnight, by hand, because that was the only place the three locations could be added together."
The result was a business that couldn't see itself in real time. Reyes got reconciliation questions from general managers at 11pm. Nobody could answer "how did the group do today" without exporting from three systems first.
$700/month across five tools. 4 logins per location per manager. ~6 hours of overnight reconciliation every month-end.
Der Wechsel — one location at a time, over three weekends.
Cascade migrated location by location to avoid touching service hours. POS first, payroll the same pay cycle, accounting flowing in automatically behind it. By the third weekend, all three restaurants and the back office were on one platform.
"The first Monday after the last location switched, I didn't get a single reconciliation text," Reyes says. "That's when I knew it worked. The silence was the deliverable."

Der Schlüssel – the group as one P&L.
With all three locations on one platform, Cascade can finally look at the group the way an owner needs to:
- Daily sales across all three sites on one dashboard, in real time
- Labor cost as a live percentage of sales, per location and per shift
- Payroll that reads hours straight from the POS clock-in — no re-keying
- Month-end close that's a review, not a reconstruction
Because clock-ins, sales, and payroll share one system, labor percentage is no longer a month-end discovery. Reyes catches an over-staffed shift the same day it happens, not three weeks later.
Die neue Normalität — decisions in daylight.
"I used to manage by anecdote and a midnight spreadsheet," Reyes says. "Now I open one screen in the morning and I know exactly how the group did. Same data the GMs see. We're finally arguing about the right things."
