Restaurant bookkeeping.
Built for food service.
POS reconciliation, tip income tracking, food & beverage COGS, delivery platform payouts, and HST filing — we understand restaurant finance so you can focus on the kitchen.
Why Restaurants Need Specialized Bookkeeping
Restaurants are different.
Your books need to be too.
Restaurant bookkeeping is more complex than most industries. You're dealing with daily cash and card sales, multiple revenue streams (dine-in, takeout, delivery apps, catering), tip pooling and employee tip reporting, perishable inventory and COGS tracking, and HST rules that differ between hot food, cold food, and alcohol.
A generic bookkeeper often miscategorizes restaurant expenses, misses delivery platform reconciliation, or incorrectly handles tip income — creating CRA exposure and inaccurate P&L statements that don't reflect your real food cost margins.
We reconcile your POS system monthly, track food and liquor COGS separately, record all tip income correctly, and deliver a P&L that shows your actual gross margin by revenue category — so you can see where you're making money and where you're losing it.
Book a Free ConsultationPOS Reconciliation
We reconcile your POS system (Square, Toast, Lightspeed, Clover, MICROS) against bank deposits and credit card settlements daily — matching your Z-report to actual receipts.
Delivery Platform Payouts
DoorDash, Uber Eats, SkipTheDishes, Ritual — each platform remits on a different schedule at different net rates. We reconcile every payout against reported sales and platform fees.
Tip Income & Payroll
Employer-controlled tip pools must be included in payroll and reported on T4s. We record all gratuity income correctly, ensure HST reporting accuracy, and prevent CRA audit triggers.
Food & Beverage COGS
Food cost % and pour cost % are the two metrics that determine restaurant profitability. We track COGS by category monthly so you can see your actual margins.
HST on Food & Alcohol
Restaurant meals (hot food, dine-in) are taxable. Basic groceries are zero-rated. Alcohol is always taxable. We apply the correct HST treatment to every revenue stream.
