Bookkeeping for restaurants and bars
Daily sales, tips, card fees, delivery payouts, food and liquor costs, and payroll that changes every week. We keep it straight and put your prime cost in front of you while you can still act on it.
And how we fix each one.
Card fees, tips, refunds, and delivery payouts mean the bank never shows what the POS says you sold.
How we fix itEvery deposit tied back to your POS, card processor, and delivery apps, so the gap is explained to the dollar.
Vendors raise prices quietly, portions drift, and waste climbs on busy nights. Nobody sees it until the month is gone.
How we fix itFood, liquor, beer, and wine split out, with a simple count if you want it, so you see which cost moved and when.
New hires, swapped shifts, tips, and overtime make every payroll a puzzle.
How we fix itWith Books and payroll, payroll and tips run on schedule in your payroll provider, and every change lands right in the books.
By the time you know how the month went, you're halfway through the next one.
