Background: Bella’s Bistro, a popular restaurant in San Francisco, faced seasonal fluctuations in cash flow that made it challenging to manage expenses during the off-peak season. Bella, the owner, needed a solution to maintain operations without financial strain, allowing her to focus on delivering excellent service and food to her customers.

She was able to cover essential expenses, such as payroll, inventory, and utilities, without financial stress. When the peak season arrived, Bella’s Bistro was well-prepared to handle the increased demand. The restaurant saw a 20% increase in annual revenue, attributed to the ability to maintain consistent operations and service quality throughout the year.
