About Strictly Restaurants

Built by Restaurant Financial Experts.
Focused Exclusively on Restaurants

Running a successful restaurant takes more than great food and exceptional hospitality. It requires accurate financial reporting, reliable bookkeeping, strategic planning, and a clear understanding of the numbers that drive profitability. That's why Strictly Restaurants was created.

For more than a decade, Jeff Lavelle and the team at Strictly Restaurants have helped independent restaurants, hospitality groups, and multi location operators across the United States gain greater financial clarity and build stronger, more profitable businesses. Unlike traditional accounting firms that serve every industry, we focus exclusively on restaurants, giving our clients specialized financial guidance built around the unique challenges of food service operations.

From restaurant bookkeeping and payroll to controller services, cash flow management, financial reporting, and fractional CFO support, every service is designed to help restaurant owners make informed decisions with confidence. We believe financial reporting should do more than satisfy compliance requirements. It should provide meaningful insights that improve operations, increase profitability, and support long term growth.

At Strictly Restaurants, we become an extension of your team. Our goal is to simplify your financial operations, strengthen your back office, and provide the restaurant specific expertise you need to focus on what you do best, creating exceptional dining experiences.

Jeffrey J. Lavelle

President/CEO

Jeff has spent 32 years in the hospitality industry as a Restaurant Controller prior to opening Strictly Restaurants. His immense success is attributed in part to his detailed work experiences in various positions within the restaurant industry, and his strong financial background.

Jeff and his family previously owned and operated their own restaurant/deli for several years. His last full-time position as CFO/Controller was with French Chef David Bouley which led them to starting Strictly Restaurants thereafter. As being an industry insider, Jeff has come to understand what each and every position, and individual, brings to the success or failure of a restaurant.

Jeff has worked both in the FOH (front of the house) and the BOH (back of the house) in various capacities, then transitioned his way into the corporate office and is presently the owner of his own business. He has the expertise and experience to turn a less profitable restaurant into a profitable business, or an average restaurant into a Michelin star worthy place.

Whether you are looking to make a profit, increase your customer base, or take your restaurant to the next level of successful management, Jeff and his team have what it takes to make it successful.
