The problem

Busy every night, but where does the margin go?

Restaurant margins are thin, so small gaps in the books decide whether a location makes money.

  1. 01

    Payouts don’t match deposits

    POS and delivery-app payouts arrive net of fees, tips, refunds and chargebacks, so sales and bank deposits never tie.

  2. 02

    Tips and payroll taxes are easy to get wrong

    Tip reporting, employer payroll taxes and the FICA tip credit all depend on clean payroll records.

  3. 03

    Shared costs blur location results

    When every location runs through one file, nobody knows which site actually earns its keep.

Why it breaks

A few points of unrecorded fees or food cost can be the difference between a profitable location and one that only looks busy.
