ADA web compliance, custom websites, bookkeeping consulting, and AI-powered tools — built by a restaurant operator, priced for independent owners.
Our Flagship Service
Restaurants are the #1 target for ADA website lawsuits — 614 cases in the first half of 2025 alone. A single California lawsuit costs $30K – $225K+. We fix your website before lawyers find you.
Two free tools built on the actual WCAG 2.2 spec, DOJ Title III guidance, and ADA case law. No marketing fluff — just the rules in plain English.
Bring your own Gemini or Anthropic API key. The tool reads your HTML via SSH, auto-fixes WCAG 2.1 AA violations, and deploys the corrected file — all from your browser.
Non-refundable. Requires your own AI API key. Always test on a staging environment first.

Built Into Hotchows POS
All your delivery platforms in one place — no more juggling tablets or manually entering orders.
Orders from every connected platform appear instantly in your POS queue and fire to the kitchen display — no manual entry, no missed tickets.
See revenue, order count, and average ticket broken down by platform — DoorDash vs. UberEats vs. in-house, side by side in one dashboard.
One dashboard to manage all your delivery channels. Add, pause, or swap platforms without touching a tablet or a third-party portal.
Instead of watching separate tablets for DoorDash, UberEats, Grubhub, and Caviar, all incoming orders land in a single Hotchows POS queue and fire to your kitchen automatically. You still pay each platform their own commission — we just eliminate the manual work and the missed tickets.
Built-In Accounting
Every sale, refund, tip, and tax entry is journalized automatically. Live P&L and Balance Sheet — without a $200/mo QuickBooks subscription or a monthly call with your accountant.
Every POS transaction posts a double-entry journal entry in real time. Cash, card, tips, comps, voids — all accounted for with zero manual input.
Pull a P&L, Balance Sheet, or Cash Flow statement any time — daily, weekly, monthly, or custom range. No waiting on your bookkeeper.
Export your chart of accounts, journal entries, and trial balance to CSV or QuickBooks format — hand it to your CPA and let them focus on strategy, not data entry.
Most independent restaurants spend $60–$200/mo on accounting software that still requires manual import from their POS. Hotchows POS is the POS and the bookkeeper — built for restaurants that want less software, not more.
