ControlPoint For Restaurant Group - Financial Control. Operational Power.

Team training session

Some stories are written through decisions.Others through challenges.And some are born from the deep inner drive to build something of your own. Mine is a combination of all three. This is the story of how my professional journey, financial experience, and passion for operational excellence led me to create ControlPoint, a system designed to improve restaurant operations management, financial control, and sustainable growth.

My First Steps in Business and Financial Management

I was only 16 years old when I took on a challenge that would permanently shape my vision of the business world: working as an administrator and treasurer in the mining industry. It was an intense and empirical learning experience that exposed me early to areas many professionals only encounter years later, including:

Business administration
Personnel management
Financial operations
Internal business processes
Decision-making with real impact on people and organizations

During those years, I discovered something that would later define my career: a natural vocation for management, leadership, and financial structure.

A Leap to Medellín: Growth, Learning, and Opportunity

Two years later, I moved to Medellín with a clear intention: to grow, learn, and build a professional path with purpose.

There, I worked across multiple industries, including:

Textiles
Construction
Interior design development
Commercial operations

Each experience strengthened my understanding of how businesses operate behind the scenes, and each opportunity introduced me to mentors and leaders who trusted my abilities and helped shape my professional growth.

Discovering Financial Systems and Operational Excellence

Control Point is not just about organizing numbers or files. It is about changing the way businesses understand and manage their operations.

Our philosophy is built on three pillars:

Control: Knowing exactly what is happening in your business.
Clarity: Simple, accessible, and understandable information.
Growth: Decisions driven by real data.

Working alongside an exceptional team, we faced complex financial and operational challenges — always delivering structured, compliant, and efficient solutions. The leaders I worked with during this stage became true role models. They shaped my standards, my discipline, and my understanding of operational excellence. Leaving that chapter was emotional, but I did so with gratitude, confidence, and the certainty that I was ready to build something greater.

Personal Challenges That Strengthened My Leadership

The next stage of my journey brought profound personal and professional challenges. Experiences that demanded resilience, maturity, and emotional strength. Those moments refined my leadership style and reinforced my belief in building systems rooted in values, transparency, and long-term vision — principles that later became foundational to ControlPoint.

Entering the Restaurant Industry

hen came one of the most dynamic and demanding industries I have ever worked in: the restaurant industry. Restaurants operate in real time. Every day requires constant focus on:

Strategy
Continuous improvement
Operational efficiency
Fast decision-making
Team coordination
Financial performance that changes by the minute

It was here that a defining question emerged:

How can restaurants gain better financial control, operational clarity, and sustainable profitability?

Why Restaurants Need Better Operational Control

Through direct experience, I saw a recurring problem: restaurant owners were passionate, hardworking, and creative — but often lacked structured back-office systems to support growth.

Without proper accounting, payroll, vendor management, and financial analysis, even great restaurants struggle to scale.

That realization became the foundation of everything that followed.

The Birth of ControlPoint by Restaurant Group

ControlPoint was created to solve that exact problem.

It is a comprehensive model designed to centralize, simplify, and optimize restaurant operations, offering integrated solutions such as:

Restaurant accounting
Payroll management
Human Resources
Menu and cost management
Vendor management
Strategic consulting
Brand development and growth

Our mission is to provide restaurants — from small local businesses to expanding brands — with professional, strategic, and affordable operational support that directly improves profitability and long-term stability.

A System Built for the Future of Restaurants

With over 10 years of experience in financial management, accounting systems, and restaurant operations across multiple industries and markets, my journey led me to build more than a company. I built a system designed to transform how restaurants operate, grow, and succeed. ControlPoint exists to give restaurant owners clarity, control, and confidence — so they can focus on what they do best.
