Keep restaurant books aligned with the way your operation actually runs—POS sales, merchant deposits, delivery-platform settlements, vendor bills, payroll and tips, inventory movements, food cost and location-level reporting.
Initial setup is typically planned for 3–5 working days after complete access and opening information are available. Routine monthly close is generally targeted within 5–7 working days after complete month-end inputs are received.
Pricing is structured around restaurant complexity—not just bookkeeping hours. Outlet count, sales channels, bank and merchant accounts, payroll, inventory, historical clean-up and reporting depth can change the final scope.
For a small single-outlet operator with organised source data and straightforward monthly books.
For restaurants using POS and merchant processors that need a stronger monthly close.
For higher-volume, multi-channel or multi-location restaurants needing management detail.
For franchises, restaurant groups, catch-up work or accounting environments with complex integrations.
Pricing note: Plans are entry points for remote accounting support. Final pricing is confirmed after reviewing the number of outlets, entities, source systems, reconciliation volume, reporting needs and condition of the existing books. Tax filings, statutory audit, legal advice and other regulated services are not included unless explicitly agreed.
Share your POS, accounting setup, number of outlets and the problem you are trying to solve. We will help define the smallest workable scope first.
Most enquiries start when sales channels, outlet count or operating volume grow faster than the bookkeeping process. The engagement is designed to clarify the source data first, then build a repeatable close.
Sales categories, taxes, tips and deposits no longer map cleanly to the ledger.
Marketplace commissions, withheld taxes and settlement timing create reconciliation noise.
Location-level accounts, intercompany activity and consolidated reporting become harder to control.
Reports arrive too late because missing deposits, bills or payroll entries are found at the end.
Old unreconciled periods need clean-up before current reporting can be trusted.
Confirm outlets, entities, accounting basis, bank accounts, POS, merchant, payroll and reporting needs.
Gather the agreed exports, statements, prior balances and period-specific source documents.
Define how sales, taxes, tips, gift cards, fees, payroll, inventory and vendors enter the books.
Match cash movement to operational reports and document exceptions requiring clarification.
Post agreed adjustments, review the close checklist and prepare the monthly reporting pack.
Share outputs, open items and next-period actions so recurring close work becomes more predictable.
Restaurant revenue is rarely one clean deposit. The accounting workflow needs to preserve the business meaning of sales while explaining why the cash that reaches the bank may differ from gross sales.
The close sequence should reflect the systems and obligations that make restaurant accounting distinctive: daily sales, settlement activity, payroll and tips, vendor purchases, inventory and food cost, and the timing of liabilities.
Confirm all expected days and outlets are present; investigate missing or duplicate POS / delivery data.
Reconcile merchant settlements, cash deposits, processor fees, chargebacks and timing differences.
Capture invoices, credits and recurring expenses; identify unmatched payments and missing bills.
Map payroll expense and liabilities and reconcile tip-related balances to available payroll / POS evidence.
Use agreed counts or inventory outputs to support COGS adjustments and explain unusual cost movement.
Prepare agreed statements and management views, document exceptions and carry unresolved items forward.
The engagement can use available exports and approved access from common restaurant systems. Direct API or connector implementation is not assumed; it is scoped separately when technically relevant.
Brand names are listed only as examples of systems commonly encountered in restaurant accounting workflows. Listing them does not imply a partnership, certification or native integration.
Clear boundaries reduce close delays and prevent an accounting-support engagement from being mistaken for regulated tax, audit, legal or payroll services.
Best when the owner needs timely books without hiring a full-time internal bookkeeper.
Useful where high transaction volume and multiple payment types create settlement complexity.
Useful when marketplace commissions, promos and net settlements need careful reconciliation.
Appropriate when location-level books, consolidated reporting or repeated close routines are needed.
Quality is handled through source-to-ledger tie-outs, exception review and a documented close checklist—not by assuming that imported data is automatically correct.
These answers explain the normal service boundaries. Your exact scope is confirmed after the current books, systems, data quality and operating model are reviewed.
Depending on the agreed plan, support can cover restaurant sales posting, bank and merchant reconciliation, expense and vendor bookkeeping, payroll and tip mapping, food-cost and inventory-related entries, month-end close and financial reporting.
Yes. The workflow can use available POS, merchant, delivery-platform, bank, payroll and accounting exports. Direct integration work depends on the platform, available access and the agreed scope.
A straightforward single-outlet setup is typically planned for 3–5 working days after complete access and opening information are available. Catch-up work, multiple entities, complex mappings or incomplete books can take longer.
For routine engagements, the monthly close is generally targeted within 5–7 working days after complete month-end inputs are received. Timing changes when source data is late, unreconciled or requires investigation.
Tax filing, statutory representation, legal advice and jurisdiction-specific tax advice are not assumed to be included. They require an explicitly agreed scope and, where relevant, an appropriately qualified professional.
Yes. Multi-location work can be scoped around separate locations, entities, bank accounts, POS sources, merchant processors, payroll groups and consolidated reporting needs.
Catch-up and clean-up work can be scoped separately after reviewing the periods involved, source documents, opening balances, unreconciled accounts and the quality of existing entries.
Typical inputs include accounting-system access or exports, POS sales reports, bank and card statements, merchant settlement reports, delivery-platform statements, vendor bills, payroll summaries, inventory or count information and opening balances.
Questions and exceptions are documented during the close. Corrections are made against agreed source evidence before the period is finalized, and recurring mapping issues can be carried into the next close checklist.
Rudrriv will review the requirement, confirm the operating scope and source systems, identify the inputs needed, clarify exclusions and then recommend a plan or custom scope with final pricing and timing.
A useful first enquiry explains the restaurant structure, current accounting setup and the problem you want solved. You do not need to send confidential financial files yet.
We will use your enquiry to confirm scope, pricing, access requirements and realistic timing before work begins.
