Bookkeeping Services for Food & Beverage Businesses

Nobody opens a restaurant or CPG brand to spend nights reconciling POS batches and vendor bills. Operators want to focus on guests, quality, and growth—not comb through invoices, tips, and bank feeds. But unmanaged books trigger cash leaks, tax headaches, and blind spots that erode already-thin margins.



That’s where clean, proactive bookkeeping changes the game. It’s not just logging transactions—it’s making the numbers readable and timely, so decisions get clearer, margins improve, and tax season is organized instead of frantic.

Why It’s Worth It

For F&B businesses, clean books protect hard-earned margin. They surface waste, capture all eligible deductions, and show a true picture of sales mix, cash flow, and runway. Lending, leases, and supplier terms get easier when financials are tidy, current, and ready.

What It Actually Covers

Recording Every Sale and Cost

Every POS batch, delivery platform payout, vendor invoice, and card fee is recorded—so revenue and COGS stay accurate and deductions aren’t missed.

Reconciling Accounts

We match bank, merchant, delivery app, and credit card activity to the books, closing gaps where errors hide and catching issues before they snowball.

Tracking Spend and Prime Costs

See exactly where money goes—ingredients, labor, packaging, and overhead—so pricing and purchasing can adjust with confidence.

Keeping AR/AP Tight

If you run catering, wholesale, or events, we keep invoices clean, deposits tracked, and payables on schedule—less follow-up, stronger vendor relationships.

Making Your Systems Work

POS, delivery apps, inventory, and accounting—if it’s messy, we clean it up so you can find answers in seconds and close the month on time.

A Real-World Moment

A multi‑unit concept juggling dine‑in, delivery, and catering hit year‑end with piles of deposits, missing payouts, and scattered invoices. After professional bookkeeping, every data source flowed into one clean system. Categories were accurate, tips reconciled, and statements closed monthly. The next filing took under an hour, and the monthly snapshot finally showed where the margin went.

FAQs

  • Do I need this if my POS already closes daily?

    Yes. The earlier you start, the less cleanup you’ll face later—and the more clarity you’ll have right now.


  • What if I’ve ignored this for months?

    It’s common. We perform a structured clean‑up, then move into a predictable monthly cadence.

  • Can you work with my current POS and inventory tools?

     Sure—if it works. If it doesn’t, we’ll help make it better without overcomplicating it.


  • Is this all virtual?

    Yes. We operate remotely with secure access and share concise monthly summaries.
