In-person workshop
How Strong is Your Cash Flow?
September 24 | 4 – 6 PM
Omega’s Restaurant
27 South Center Street Merchantville, NJ 08109
Running a restaurant means managing more than what happens in the kitchen. From food costs and payroll to equipment needs and seasonal shifts, your numbers can move quickly and understanding your cash flow can make it easier to plan for what’s next.
Join Pursuit and the NJSBDC for an in-person workshop designed for restaurant owners and food entrepreneurs who want to better understand their cash flow, credit, and financing options.
In this session, you’ll learn how to:
- Understand what your numbers are actually telling you
- Keep track of money coming in and going out
- Plan for expenses like food, payroll, and equipment
- Get your business ready before you need funding
When you attend, you’ll get access to exclusive giveaways, like a free financial fitness test, and one-on-one sessions with expert consultants.
Don’t miss this chance to take your business to the next level. Save your seat today!
Sign up for the in-person workshop!
