Three things we watchin café and bakery books.

Reconciling and closing are the same everywhere. This is where these books differ.

  1. Ingredient cost %

    When beans or butter go up, margin drops. We show the ratio to sales every month.

  2. Counter sales vs. wholesale

    Bread for other cafés and custom cake orders are booked apart. Tax and margin can differ.

  3. Tips, app payouts, franchise fees

    Tips go through payroll, app payouts split into sales and fees, royalties get their own line.

The plan that fits:Essential.

For one shop, Essential plus payroll and sales tax usually fits. With two or more shops, or for quarterly income-tax planning, Growth is the match.

The estimator opens with your industry already picked.

Is take-out taxed differently from eat-in?
It depends on the state. Many states treat food eaten on site differently from bread or beans taken home, and each draws the line its own way. We get the two split on your POS reports and file by your state’s rules.
How are card tips handled?
Card tips aren’t sales; they belong to your staff. They come in as a liability and go out through payroll, and cash tips go in from what staff report. If we run payroll, we match them every pay period.
How are franchise royalties and ad funds booked?
Royalties and ad-fund contributions each get their own account, matched to the franchisor’s statement every month, so you can see what the brand costs as a share of sales. A one-time franchise fee is spread over several years.
