Bookkeeping for Cafes
Running a cafe means early starts, busy service periods, staff to manage, suppliers to pay and customers to keep happy. The last thing you want to do after a long day is sit down and sort through your bookkeeping.

At Young Guns Bookkeeping, we provide practical bookkeeping services for cafes and hospitality businesses across Melbourne. We help keep your accounts organised, your transactions reconciled and your financial records up to date, so you can spend more time running your cafe.
Bookkeeping for Busy Cafe Owners
Cafe bookkeeping can be different from many other businesses. You may be dealing with daily EFTPOS transactions, cash sales, food and beverage suppliers, wages, casual staff, delivery platforms, rent and a constant stream of operating expenses.
Keeping everything accurately recorded can take a lot of time.
We can help with the day-to-day bookkeeping behind your cafe, including:
Bank reconciliations
EFTPOS and payment reconciliation
Accounts payable
Supplier bills and payments
Accounts receivable
Expense tracking
Payroll bookkeeping
GST and BAS support
Xero bookkeeping
Cash flow tracking
Monthly bookkeeping
Financial reporting
General bookkeeping support
Keep Your Cafe Accounts Up to Date
When you're busy serving customers, bookkeeping can easily fall behind. But outdated accounts make it harder to understand how your cafe is actually performing.
We keep your bookkeeping up to date so you can see your income, expenses and cash position more clearly.
This can help you understand where your money is going and make more informed decisions about your business.
Manage Cafe Expenses
Running a cafe comes with plenty of regular expenses.
Food and beverage supplies, packaging, cleaning products, equipment, utilities, rent, insurance and other operating costs all need to be recorded correctly.
We help keep your expenses organised and your accounts reconciled, giving you a clearer picture of your ongoing costs.
Stay on Top of Supplier Bills
Cafes often deal with multiple suppliers, from coffee roasters and food distributors to cleaning and packaging suppliers.
Keeping track of supplier invoices and payments can become a job in itself.
We can help manage your accounts payable and keep your supplier transactions properly recorded.
Payroll for Cafe Staff
Staff costs are one of the biggest expenses for many cafes. With full-time, part-time and casual employees, keeping payroll records organised is important.
We can help keep your payroll bookkeeping up to date and ensure your accounting records accurately reflect your wage expenses.
Xero Bookkeeping for Cafes
If your cafe uses Xero, we can take care of the bookkeeping that keeps your accounts running smoothly.
We can help with bank feeds, reconciliations, bills, invoices, expenses and general Xero bookkeeping.
Rather than spending your evenings trying to catch up on your accounts, you can leave the bookkeeping to us.
Bookkeeping for Melbourne Cafes
We work with cafe owners and hospitality businesses across Melbourne.
Whether you run a small neighbourhood cafe, specialty coffee shop, takeaway business or a larger hospitality operation, we can provide bookkeeping support based on the needs of your business.
Know What Your Cafe Is Really Making
Sales figures are only part of the picture. You need to understand your costs as well. Food, wages, rent, utilities, merchant fees and other expenses can quickly add up.
Keeping your bookkeeping accurate and current gives you better visibility over the numbers behind your cafe.
That means you can spend less time wondering where the money has gone and more time making decisions about where you want to take your business.
