Restaurant Accounting & Bookkeeping
8 products listed
Introduction
Restaurant books are busier than most: daily takings across several payment types, tips, many small supplier bills, and payroll. Accounting and bookkeeping tools for food businesses are built around that pattern. They connect to your POS, bank and suppliers, reconcile them, and produce daily and monthly reports. This category includes invoice processing, where supplier bills are read, coded and sent for payment, along with the ledger they feed. Some are software you run yourself, while others combine software with a bookkeeping service. Extras such as recipe costing and inventory counts appear in some, but the core job is getting the books right.
Who needs it
Restaurants, bars, pubs and clubs whose general accounting package struggles with high transaction volumes or piles of supplier invoices. It becomes worth having when bookkeeping falls behind, when invoices are keyed in by hand, or when you want the books to update from your till without daily entry.
