Restaurant & Franchise Accounting

Restaurant accounting connects daily sales, payment processors, sales tax, tips, payroll, inventory and owner decisions. Each system should reconcile with the others.

Trace sales from the register to the bank

Point-of-sale reports, cash receipts, processor fees and bank deposits may differ in timing and amount. Reconciliation helps separate actual sales from transfers and adjustments.

Review sales tax and tips

Prepared food sales and employee tips can create distinct reporting duties. The POS, payroll and tax returns should reflect the same underlying activity.

Watch labor and food costs

Comparing payroll, purchases and sales by period can reveal trends that a once-a-year tax return will not show. We help owners organize records for that review.
