Food cost creep
Food costs drift up and quietly kill your margin. We track cost of goods against sales, so you catch creep before it eats the month.
Restaurants
Bookkeeping for Restaurants
Food and labor costs, tips, and prime costs, tracked to the plate. We keep your restaurant books accurate so you know your real margins on every shift.
Why it's different
The bookkeeping headaches unique to restaurants
Prime cost blind spots
Food plus labor is your prime cost, the number that makes or breaks a restaurant. We track it every period so you can act, not guess.
Tips and payroll
Tips, tip credits, and payroll get messy fast and carry real compliance risk. We keep them recorded and reconciled correctly.
Daily sales and POS chaos
Your POS, delivery apps, and merchant deposits rarely agree. We reconcile daily sales so your books match the register and the bank.

It's just one less thing on my plate. I get an email at month-end to review my books, I add a few comments, and that month is done. I never have to worry about it again.
