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.
