Kyle sits down with Ty Wilson, co-founder of Tab Commerce, on the floor of the National Restaurant Association Show to talk about the financial blind spot costing restaurant operators real margin. The conversation covers tail spend, the roughly 50% of purchases that happen across a team in smaller, harder-to-track transactions, and why that's where margin actually disappears in most restaurants. Ty breaks down how Tab Commerce gives operators corporate cards with category controls, automated receipt capture via text, and GL coding that syncs directly into their accounting software. Average customer is a 12-unit operator. Largest is 140. And yes, single-unit operators use it too.
