Georgia Cash-Flow Patterns
Atlanta's convention traffic and Athens's college football Saturdays move deposits on two different calendars. A review reads six months of statements against whichever calendar actually drove that restaurant's volume.
How Restaurant Cash Flow Actually Moves in Georgia
Atlanta's restaurant scene runs on business travel and convention traffic more than tourism, which keeps deposits comparatively steady across most of the year next to a market like Savannah. The one real seasonal driver statewide is college football: Athens restaurants near the University of Georgia see genuine single-Saturday spikes on home game days every fall that a monthly average won't show, and Atlanta's own dining scene gets a smaller version of the same bump.
Savannah's historic district runs on tourism, spring and fall are its strongest stretches, with a summer heat and humidity dip similar to what coastal Gulf markets see. Rural Georgia restaurants run flatter than either metro, without Atlanta's convention volume or Athens's game-day spikes, but also without as sharp a seasonal swing.

Qualification
The $4,000 to $6,000 minimum deposit range is a floor, not a target. Savannah's tourism driven covers and Atlanta's steadier weekday traffic can both clear it in very different ways.
