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 books match what your payroll provider reported.
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.
