Why hospitality operators love us
Paperchase is the most incredible tool for restaurants. It’s not just a bookkeeping service – they bring valuable advice, and are genuinely dedicated to our success and growth.
Steven Fruman
owner Mamo restaurant and Ground Central Coffee Company
I started back in 2010 and Paperchase has assisted me in so many ways to understand the setup of Roka, menu engineering and food costs. The accessibility of statistics analysis, reports and budgets that Paperchase can produce for us are a priceless tool when running a business and ensuring it is profitable.

Ever since the first Zuma opened in 2002, Paperchase has been a tremendous support and helped me to set up the business. They were instrumental to the company and what it has become today- in the UK and globally.
