Restaurant accounting is notoriously fast-paced and complex. Between managing inventory spoilage, tracking hourly labor, and untangling third-party delivery fees, it is incredibly easy for owners to lose control of their cash flow. If you only look at your numbers once a month when your CPA calls, it is already too late to fix a profitability leak.
❌ “My sales look right, but cash is off.”
We reconcile your POS sales against actual bank deposits daily. If cash is missing or credit card batches don’t match, we flag it immediately.
❌ “I don’t trust my Food Cost (COGS).”
We separate purchases by category (Meat, Produce, Liquor) and track inventory variance so you know exactly where your true food cost stands.
❌ “Tips & Delivery Fees are a mess.”
We accurately net out UberEats/DoorDash commissions and track tip liabilities so you don’t overpay taxes on money that belongs to your staff.
❌ “I find out about problems too late.”
Waiting 30 days for a P&L is too slow for the hospitality industry. Our bookkeeping includes high-frequency updates so you can pivot fast.

It includes daily sales reconciliation, Accounts Payable (AP) management, full-cycle payroll processing, sales tax filing, monthly financial reporting (Profit & Loss, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow), and Prime Cost tracking.
How do you reconcile POS sales to bank deposits?
