Bookkeeping for Restaurants

At Young Guns Bookkeeping, we provide practical bookkeeping services for restaurants 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 restaurant.

Bookkeeping Built for Restaurant Operators

Restaurant bookkeeping can involve a lot of moving parts. You may have daily EFTPOS transactions across multiple terminals, food and beverage suppliers, casual and full-time staff, bookings platforms, delivery apps and a constant flow of operating expenses.

We can help with the day-to-day bookkeeping behind your restaurant, including:

• Bank reconciliations

• EFTPOS and payment reconciliation

• Accounts payable

• Supplier bills and payments

• Accounts receivable

• Food and beverage cost tracking

• Expense tracking

• Payroll bookkeeping

• GST and BAS support

• Xero bookkeeping

• Cash flow tracking

• Monthly bookkeeping

• Financial reporting

• General bookkeeping support

Keep Your Restaurant Accounts Up to Date

When you're busy running service, bookkeeping can easily fall behind. But outdated accounts make it harder to understand how your restaurant is actually performing.

We keep your bookkeeping up to date so you can see your income, expenses and cash position more clearly, and make more informed decisions about your business.

Track Food and Beverage Costs

Food cost is one of the biggest factors in restaurant profitability. Between fresh produce, beverages, packaging and wastage, keeping these costs properly recorded is important for understanding your margins.

We help keep your supplier bills and expenses organised, giving you a clearer picture of your ongoing food and beverage costs.

Reconcile Daily Sales

Restaurants can take payments through multiple EFTPOS terminals, online bookings, delivery platforms and cash. Making sure all of this is properly recorded and matched to your bank account is an important part of keeping your accounts accurate.

We can help keep your sales and payment transactions organised and reconciled against your accounting records.

Manage Payroll for a Busy Team

With full-time, part-time and casual staff working across changing rosters, restaurant payroll can become complicated quickly.

We can help keep your payroll bookkeeping organised and ensure your wage transactions are accurately reflected in your accounts.

Xero Bookkeeping for Restaurants

If your restaurant 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, so you're not spending your nights catching up on transactions.

Bookkeeping for Different Restaurant Businesses

We provide bookkeeping support for a wide range of restaurant businesses, including:

- Fine dining restaurants

- Casual dining restaurants

- Bistros and eateries

- Function and event restaurants

- Multi-venue restaurant groups

- Licensed venues

- Takeaway and delivery-focused restaurants

- Restaurant groups and franchises

Know What Your Restaurant Is Really Making

Busy service doesn't always mean a healthy bottom line. Food costs, wages, rent, supplier bills and merchant fees can quickly eat into your margins.

Keeping your bookkeeping accurate and current gives you better visibility over the numbers behind your restaurant, so you can see where your money is going and make decisions with more confidence.
