FAQs: Restaurant Bookkeeping in Toronto
What role does a bookkeeper have in a restaurant?
A bookkeeper can record, manage, and maintain the restaurant’s financial records. They guide you in choosing wisely for your restaurant with accurate financial data. At SAL, our bookkeepers handle customer and supplier payments and other involved parties. We also track payroll to ensure that staff are paid and reduce the tax office correctly.
What accounting and bookkeeping methods do you use?
There are two common restaurant accounting methods: cash-basis and accrual-basis. The cash-basis method involves recording revenue from customer payments and expenses of suppliers’ payments. On the other hand, the accrual-basis approach only tracks income when it’s earned and expenses when they’re contracted. Smaller restaurants or those that can go with a cash-basis method to have their business improved. On the other hand, most publicly traded restaurant companies should follow an accrual-basis method according to GAAP.
What type of costs does a bookkeeper track for a restaurant?
There are several restaurant costs that we track every month, including food, labor, rent, bills, supplies, maintenance, advertising, and so on.
What are important KPIs in restaurant bookkeeping?
In order to track your restaurant performance, we measure some key metrics. A number of factors determine them, including revenue growth, profit margins, costs of goods sold (COGS), and prime costs.
Does restaurant bookkeeping involve accounts payable?
Yes, it does. A restaurant’s unpaid invoices with its suppliers are known as outstanding invoices. These include food and beverage, cuisine equipment, and other vital services like utilities and upkeep. We help you manage AP to keep connections with great vendors.
Are there any hidden transactions in the restaurant's bookkeeping records?
We only calculate financial transactions directly related to the restaurant in the bookkeeping records. For instance, our bookkeepers do not log your purchase when you buy a car for your personal use. But we will record the purchase of a vehicle you bought as the restaurant’s asset.
Does bookkeeping involve inventory in a restaurant?
Tracking inventory consumption and remaining inventory is essential for all restaurants. At SAL, we use automation software to enhance this process. It helps you avoid spending inventory capital unwisely and saves more money.
Should I update my financial bookkeeping records?
As a restaurant owner, it is important to update your restaurant’s financial records regularly. It helps you with restaurant revenue management. Our CPA suggests updating sales and cash management daily and other records at least monthly.
