From Weekend Rush To All-Week Booked: How A Neighborhood Bistro Doubled Monthly Revenue

Maria owns a busy neighborhood bistro that was turning away guests on weekends but stayed quiet during the week. She wanted to expand seating, modernize the kitchen, and launch a simple catering menu for local offices but her bank declined her after looking at one difficult pandemic year.

Weekend demand was strong but weekday sales lagged, the kitchen was at capacity during peak periods, and a prior down year led to a bank decline that left Maria without the capital to invest in more seats and new revenue streams.

Maria applied online with Purple Tree Funding, connected her bank and card processing data, and Purple Tree reviewed twelve months of cash flow and card volume. Based on consistent deposits and improving trends, they structured an eighty five thousand dollar working capital advance with flexible daily repayments tied to card sales so payments stayed manageable in slower weeks.

Within six months of funding the restaurant added thirty new outdoor seats, launched an office catering program, and saw average monthly revenue increase by forty two percent, with weekday lunch sales up twenty two percent and all payments made on time.
