The Foundation

You deserve a financial partner you can build on.

Most hospitality operators have an accountant. Someone who files the taxes, keeps the books, stays out of the way. But not someone who understands what your numbers (food cost, pour cost, prime cost) should be.

Prime is different. Decades inside the hospitality industry. Operating in it. Consulting in it. Understanding exactly what drives profitability in a restaurant, a bar, a venue — and what kills it.

When Prime looks at your numbers, we don't just see accounting. We see your business. What's working. What isn't. And what to do about it.

Who We Work With

Built for a specific kind of operator.

Prime works with hospitality operators who are serious about building something. Doing $1M or more in annual sales. Engaged — willing to look at the numbers honestly, make changes when the data calls for it, and show up as a partner.

We love serving people who serve others. The operators who treat their staff well, care about doing things the right way, and aren't satisfied with average. Those are the people we do our best work with.

If you want to hand off and disappear, we're not the right fit. If you want a partner you can build your business on — you're in the right place.

What Operators Are Saying
There would be no Jewel of the South without Danny Breaux and Prime. Because of them, we have systems that are intuitive, transparent, predictive, and adaptive. With them, we see around corners and stay ahead of problems — turning complexity into clarity and momentum into a standard we can rely on each day.
