Accounting for high-end restaurants.

Revenue arrives as hundreds of small transactions across several tills and three delivery platforms. We turn that into a GP% you can act on.

Almost nothing in common with a typical trade

Restaurant accounting has almost nothing in common with the trades most bookkeepers are trained on.

Revenue arrives as hundreds of small transactions across several tills and three delivery platforms. Cost of sales moves with wastage and stock valuation. Staff turn over constantly. And the difference between a good month and a bad one is two or three points of gross profit that nobody spots until the quarter closes.

What we handle

Every part of a multi-till operation

Daily takings reconciliationTill Z-reads matched to card settlements and cash banked, with the settlement timing gap tracked rather than ignored.
Delivery platform reconciliationGross order value against net remittance, commission and refunds identified separately so revenue isn't understated.
Tips and troncService charge, card tips and cash tips accounted correctly, with tronc run as a separate scheme where one exists.
Stock and wastageOpening and closing stock valued consistently, so GP% means something.
GP% by site and by categoryFood and beverage split out, tracked month on month.
Multi-site consolidationEach site reported standalone and consolidated, with central costs allocated on an agreed basis.
High-churn payrollDozens of starters and leavers a month, split shifts, variable hours.
Supplier reconciliationStatements matched against a purchase ledger with a lot of small, frequent invoices.

The number that matters

Most operators we work with find that their reported GP% and their actual GP% diverge because stock is valued inconsistently between periods. Fixing that is usually the first thing we do.
