How to Simplify Restaurant Accounting

Restaurant accounting is rarely hard because of the maths - it's hard because the numbers live in five different places.

The scattered-data problem

Sales sit in the POS, cost of goods in a supplier spreadsheet, wages in a separate payroll tool, and cash reconciliation in a notebook by the till. Every month-end becomes a manual stitching-together exercise, prone to the exact errors a business can least afford.

The integrated alternative

When POS sales, inventory costs, and payroll all post directly into one accounting package, month-end becomes a review step instead of a data-entry marathon - and the numbers are trustworthy enough to actually inform pricing and staffing decisions.

Where to start

Start with whichever manual step causes the most errors today - usually it's either supplier invoice entry or tip reconciliation - and automate that connection first.
