Martha’s Vineyard restaurateur Ted Courtney has spent his career navigating the highs and lows of seasonal business. But with two popular restaurants in a competitive market, he needed more than experience. He needed reliable systems. In this episode of Digital Hospitality, Ted shares how KitchenSync transformed his financial operations, giving him real-time insights, cost control, and objective data that help his team make smarter decisions every day. If you are a restaurant owner trying to balance creativity with control, Ted’s story shows how the right tools make all the difference.

• Turning Data into Daily Decisions – For Ted Courtney, running two busy restaurants on Martha’s Vineyard means making quick decisions in a high-pressure, seasonal market. KitchenSync gives his team live, objective data that helps them control costs, manage inventory, and adjust purchasing on the fly. Instead of relying on gut instinct or end-of-month reports, Ted now has the clarity to make smart calls in real time.
• Building Systems that Survive the Season – Seasonal operations come with unique challenges like unpredictable staffing, fluctuating demand, and tight margins. By integrating KitchenSync into his workflow, Ted has built systems that help his team flex with the ups and downs of the season. From managing prepurchases to reducing waste in the slow months, KitchenSync gives Ted confidence that every dollar and every decision counts.
• Creating Objectivity in a Subjective Business – Restaurants will always be personal, built on relationships and run by passion. But Ted believes financial data should never be subjective. KitchenSync helps him remove the guesswork from the equation. Whether he is meeting with chefs or managers, he can turn the screen around, show the numbers, and have fact-based conversations about performance.
