Fourth invites you to their event

From Back Office to Growth Engine: Rethinking the Role of Finance in Restaurants

About this event

Finance in restaurants isn’t just about closing the books. For multi-unit brands, finance plays a direct role in daily operations, helping managers make better labor decisions, cutting through data overload, and guiding the business through uncertainty without losing sight of the guest.

In this webinar, Robert Linder, CFO of Lazy Dog Restaurants, joins Fourth's CEO, Clinton Anderson to share how Lazy Dog scaled to 50+ locations by using finance as a true partner to operations. Robert breaks down how his team curates data, improves forecasting, and gives managers clearer signals to act with confidence.

You’ll hear about:

  • How finance can simplify decision-making by focusing teams on the metrics that matter
  • Why forecasting based on real demand, not averages, leads to better labor outcomes
  • How consistent, curated KPIs help newer managers perform under pressure
  • What it means for finance to guide operations without getting in the way

A candid conversation for restaurant leaders rethinking how finance and operations work together at scale.
