Pizzerias: every table with a tip is building your credit. If your crew earns reported tips, you pay 7.65% FICA tax on them — and the FICA tip credit hands it back, dollar-for-dollar. Every year. 3 years back. Most accountants never mention it because they are not aware of it. 60-second check — link in bio

Raising the Bar: Innovation in Beverage Operations & What’s Next? 🍸

A highlight from our very own Ben Potts speaking at the QSR Evolution event in Atlanta, sharing insights on the future of beverage operations, innovation, and what it takes to build programs that deliver lasting results.

One moment that particularly resonated with the panel and audience was Ben’s three-part approach to building successful beverage programs:

Decide intentionally.
Operationalize rigorously.
Evaluate continuously.

Three simple principles with a powerful message. So much so that a fellow panelist stopped the conversation to ask Ben to repeat them.

At Unfiltered Hospitality, these principles are more than talking points. They’re the foundation of how we approach beverage strategy, operational excellence, and continuous improvement.

Because a great beverage program isn’t just about what goes into the glass. It’s about everything that makes that experience possible.

Myth: 'We're too small for a tax credit like this.' Busted: one location with tipped employees and reported tips can qualify. The credit scales with your tips — small house, small number; big house, big number. It's proportional. 7.65% of FICA tax on reported tips back, dollar-for-dollar, 3 prior years recoverable. 60-second check — link in bio 👆

Whatever POS you run — Toast, Square, Clover — it logs every reported tip. 🧾 Those tip reports ARE the paperwork for the FICA tip credit. No shoebox of receipts, no reconstructing anything from memory. If your tips are reported through your system, you're already halfway there: 7.65% of FICA tax on reported tips back, dollar-for-dollar, 3 prior years recoverable. 60-second check — link in bio 👆

Real estate people are gonna argue with me on this one 🤷🏽‍♂️

Sometimes the building isnt even the most valuable thing youre buying

Its what controlling that piece of dirt allows you to do next

Finding that hidden leverage is something weve gotten pretty friggn good at

Sitting on a property and know theres more there but cant quite figure out the move?

Thats exactly the kind of thing we like solving

If youve got the property but not the plan… thats where we can help. 🫵🏽💪🏽
