Expert Operations Management Services for Your Business
Bookkeeping management that keeps your kitchen on track.
Running a restaurant, café, or home-based baking business means long hours, tight margins, and a to-do list that never ends. The numbers, invoices, and back-office tasks are important, but they’re easy to push to the side when you’re focused on serving people.
That’s where I come in. Through bookkeeping and back-office support, I help clean up and organize your transactions, invoices, and day-to-day admin so your business feels less chaotic behind the scenes. My goal is to give you clearer numbers, steadier systems, and more breathing room to do the work people actually come to you for.
Meet Daun
Daun Wooden Operations Management exists to support the small, family-owned food businesses that keep our communities fed and connected. I work behind the scenes with restaurants, cafés, and home-based baking businesses to clean up their books, organize the back office, and keep daily operations moving so they’re not doing it all alone.
I’ve spent time in busy dining rooms and in detail-heavy, paperwork-driven roles, so I understand both the rush of service and the weight of everything that piles up after hours. My role is to bring order to the numbers and admin work, so you have more time and headspace for the food, guests, and family you care about.
My approach
My approach is calm, practical, and built around what real small food businesses need. I don’t believe in overcomplicated systems or fluffy consulting; I focus on steady, reliable support that actually lightens your load.
That might look like cleaning up past transactions, keeping your books current each month, tracking regular expenses and inventory, talking with vendors, or tightening up the back-office tasks that keep slipping through the cracks. I’m here to build simple, durable systems that fit how you already work, so your business feels less chaotic and more in control as you grow.

FAQ for Food Business Owners
Do I need to have my books already organized?
No. Many clients come to me with messy or incomplete records. Part of my management support is cleaning up what’s already there so we can move forward with clarity.
I’m a very small operation. Is this still for me?
Yes. I focus on small, often family-run food businesses—restaurants, cafés, and home-based bakeries that need steady management support, not a huge corporate system.
What parts of my business can you help manage?
I support bookkeeping management, data and reporting, calendar and scheduling, and customer service management—so your back office runs as smoothly as your kitchen.
How much time will this take me each week?
Very little. After our initial setup, most clients spend a short, focused amount of time reviewing updates and decisions. I handle the ongoing management work in the background.
Do you work remotely?
Yes. I work remotely with food businesses and use simple tools to share updates, documents, and schedules in a way that fits your day.
Have you actually worked in the food industry yourself?
Yes. I’ve spent years working inside food businesses, so I understand the rush, the long hours, and the constant juggling. My management support comes from real “been there, done that” experience, not theory—so the systems we build together actually fit your kitchen and your life.
