Your Restaurant Runs on Tight Margins.
Your Books Shouldn't Add to the Pressure.
Get a dedicated U.S.-based bookkeeper who understands food cost, labor ratios, and tip reconciliation — so you can focus on what's on the plate, not what's in the spreadsheet.
Restaurant Finances Are Different.
Most Bookkeepers Don't Know That.
Running a restaurant means juggling dozens of financial moving parts that generic bookkeeping services simply aren't built for.
Daily Cash & POS Reconciliation
Multiple revenue streams — dine-in, takeout, delivery apps, catering — all hitting different accounts. Every dollar needs to be reconciled daily or your books fall apart fast.
Food Cost & Inventory Tracking
Your food cost percentage is make-or-break. Without accurate tracking of COGS and inventory variance, you have no idea if you're actually profitable.
Tip Allocation & Payroll Complexity
Tip pooling, tip credits, tipped vs. non-tipped employees, overtime rules — restaurant payroll is one of the most complex in any industry.
Third-Party Delivery Reconciliation
DoorDash, UberEats, and Grubhub all remit differently. Reconciling delivery platform payouts against your actual sales is a nightmare without the right system.
Sales Tax Across Jurisdictions
Food vs. beverage tax rates, alcohol tax, local surcharges — restaurants deal with some of the most complex sales tax scenarios of any small business.
No Time Left in the Day
You're open 6 days a week, managing staff, handling vendors, and running the floor. Nobody opened a restaurant to do bookkeeping at midnight.
