BOOKKEEPING FOR RESTAURANTS & FOOD SERVICE

Your food's the star. We'll handle the numbers behind the scenes so you can focus on what you do best.

Industry Challenges

THE FINANCIAL HEADACHES YOU'RE ALREADY DEALING WITH

Tip Tracking Is a Nightmare

Between cash tips, credit card tips, and tip pools, keeping it all straight for payroll is a mess. We set up proper tracking in QuickBooks so every dollar is accounted for and your payroll stays compliant.

Food Costs Keep Climbing

You can't control what you can't see. We track your cost of goods sold so you know exactly where your margins stand and where they're slipping. No more guessing whether that menu price increase is overdue.

Sales Tax on Prepared Foods

PA sales tax on prepared foods, plus local taxes on top. Miss a filing and you're dealing with penalties. We keep your sales tax current and make sure you're collecting and remitting the right amounts.

Multiple Revenue Streams

Dine-in, takeout, delivery apps like DoorDash and Uber Eats, catering. Each one needs proper tracking. We reconcile every channel so you see the full picture of where your money's actually coming from.

I needed help setting up my books and keeping everything compliant. Jordan was incredibly responsive and explained everything clearly. They set up QuickBooks, streamlined my invoicing, and now I can focus on growing the business without worrying about the books.
