What We Do
Lucro provides financial leadership for hospitality owners who are responsible for complex decisions, capital investments, and long-term outcomes.
Our work is designed to support ownership-level thinking. In some cases, that begins with establishing clarity and structure. In others, it extends into forecasting, planning, and ongoing decision support as the business evolves. The scope may vary, but the standard does not.
We apply a consistent financial discipline to every engagement, grounded in cash visibility, timing, and margin awareness.
One way of thinking, applied at the depth ownership requires.
The services below reflect how that financial leadership is applied across different ownership needs. Some engagements focus on strengthening financial infrastructure. Others extend into forward-looking analysis and active decision support. Each service is modular, but all are rooted in the same disciplined approach
Financial Planning & Reporting
We help owners establish clear financial visibility through disciplined budgeting, cash flow management, and customized reporting. Our work translates financial data into insight that supports informed decision-making and sustainable profitability.
Through ongoing review and discussion, we help owners stay proactive, anticipate pressure points, and adjust course with confidence rather than reacting after the fact.
At the center of this work is cash flow forecasting, giving owners clarity around timing, obligations, and decision impact before commitments are made.
Bookkeeping Services
We provide accurate, timely bookkeeping that forms the foundation for effective financial leadership. Our work ensures that financial records are organized, reliable, and aligned with how hospitality businesses operate.
Rather than treating bookkeeping as a standalone task, we approach it as the system that supports visibility, consistency, and informed decision-making. This disciplined foundation allows owners to trust their numbers and engage more meaningfully with higher-level financial insight.
This discipline ensures that cash flow forecasting and forward-looking analysis are grounded in accurate, reliable data.
Benefits Administration
We support hospitality owners in managing employee benefits from a financial and operational perspective. Our role is to help ensure benefit programs are structured, documented, and administered in a way that aligns with payroll, cash flow, and longer-term cost predictability.
By coordinating benefits administration within the broader financial framework, we help reduce administrative friction, support compliance, and provide owners with clearer visibility into the true cost of labor.
Contract Management Services
We support hospitality owners by providing financial and operational oversight of key contracts and agreements. Our role is to help owners understand cost exposure, payment terms, and financial obligations so contracts align with operational realities and ownership priorities.
We also assist with standardizing internal contract templates and tracking key terms, helping reduce risk, improve consistency, and support more informed decision-making by improving visibility into future cash obligations.
Human Resources & Payroll
We support hospitality owners by integrating payroll and labor data into the financial picture, allowing workforce costs to be evaluated in context with revenue, margins, and cash flow timing. This visibility helps identify trends, highlight inefficiencies, and surface issues such as overscheduling or cost pressure before they impact performance.
We also provide advisory support around workforce structure and documentation, including employee file practices, onboarding processes, handbook development, and review of documented employee actions. Our role is to raise patterns and risks to the ownership level so labor decisions are made with foresight, discipline, and financial clarity.
Capital Improvements
We support hospitality owners in planning and evaluating capital improvements through a financial lens, helping align maintenance, renovations, and reinvestment decisions with cash flow, asset condition, and long-term ownership goals.
Our work focuses on timing, prioritization, and financial impact. By evaluating capital needs alongside operating performance and forecasting, we help owners understand when investments can be funded responsibly, not just how much they cost.
Risk Management & Liability
We help hospitality owners identify and understand operational and financial risks that may impact performance, cash flow, and long-term asset value.
Our role is to provide oversight and perspective, not to simply catalog risks. We work alongside owners and trusted advisors to assess exposure, evaluate insurance coverage in context, and ensure protections align with the realities of the business and ownership goals. This includes identifying gaps, redundancies, or misalignment that can lead to unnecessary cost or unanticipated risk.
By monitoring trends, operational changes, and evolving exposures, we surface risk considerations early so owners can make informed decisions that protect profitability, support stability, and preserve asset value over time.
Operational Systems & Profit Optimization
We help hospitality owners understand how operational systems and decisions impact profitability, cash flow, and long-term performance.
Rather than managing day-to-day operations, we focus on identifying where systems, processes, and policies may be creating financial friction. This includes evaluating revenue performance, cost structures, inventory controls, and vendor relationships through a financial lens to surface inefficiencies, margin pressure, or misalignment with ownership goals.
Using key performance indicators and benchmarking, we assess asset performance and identify opportunities for improvement. Our role is to translate operational activity into financial insight so owners can prioritize changes that strengthen margins, improve predictability, and support sustainable growth without compromising the guest experience.
Lucro applies the same disciplined financial thinking to every engagement, calibrating the depth of involvement to match the decisions, risk, and complexity ownership requires.
