Who we help · Restaurants
Bookkeeping for Twin Cities restaurants and cafés.
When you're closing the kitchen at 11pm, the last thing you want is a stack of vendor invoices and a sales-tax return. We handle the books so you can run the floor.
Common things we see
What your books actually need.
Tip allocations + sales tax done right.
Tip reporting, multi-rate sales tax (food vs. alcohol vs. takeout), and gross-receipts forms — we handle the bookkeeping side so your point-of-sale data flows cleanly into your books.
Vendor reconciliation across 30+ accounts.
Sysco, Restaurant Depot, your produce guy, your liquor distributor — we reconcile credit-card and ACH activity to the actual invoices so nothing gets double-paid.
Profit by daypart, not just total revenue.
Lunch is killing it, dinner is bleeding — we structure your P&L so you can see which shifts and which menu items actually have margin.
Which package fits
Most restaurants owners we work with start with Books + Tax.
Restaurants run on margin, and the difference between making it and not making it is usually buried in 30 vendor accounts and a sales-tax return that's split across three rates. Books + Tax keeps the same person on both sides — the bookkeeping you live in monthly and the return that closes the year — so nothing gets lost in handoff.
Books + Tax
Full-year bookkeeping plus annual tax filing — one person, one bill.
