FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Hospitality Bookkeeping FAQs

Hospitality bookkeeping is tricky, with unique requirements. Find out more about high-volume transactions and tip management in the answers.

How do you handle daily sales reconciliations?

It’s pretty simple, really. We configure your system to reconcile Point of Sale (POS) reports against bank deposits on a daily basis. The aim is to ensure that cash, credit card batches, and third-party delivery payments (think Uber Eats) actually land in your bank account.

Automation plays a key role in this process, flagging discrepancies and missing deposits in real-time. The most obvious benefit is that you can take action to remedy the situation immediately, instead of being caught by surprise come month-end.

Do you handle Accounts Payable for food and beverage vendors?

Yes, we do. In fact, this is one of the most important services we provide to hospitality businesses. This is because they deal with a high volume of invoices from food, beverage, and linen suppliers, which can be confusing without a proper management system in place.

We maintain order by managing the entire Accounts Payable (AP) process. It includes capturing bills accurately, ensuring bills are coded to the correct cost center (the bar or kitchen), and flagging bills due for payment.

This is important because proper AP management helps you avoid credit holds with key suppliers, and, crucially, ensures your cost-of-goods-sold data is always accurate.

How do you record tips and service charges in the books?

This is a problem not many industries share, so you really want to entrust your records to someone intimately familiar with the ins and outs of hospitality financial management. Regardless of whether or not we run your payroll, it’s your bookkeeper’s responsibility to ensure the financial records are accurate.

This includes splitting tips, gratuities, and service charges from revenue when we enter them into your journals. It’s important because it ensures entries are booked as liabilities until tips (etc.) are paid to staff. And this is important because it ensures your revenue figures aren’t inflated by money that actually belongs to your employees.

Can you track expenses by department (e.g., Room Service vs. Restaurant)?

Yes, we can. We know how important it is to be very specific when tracking expenses. This is why we make certain your chart of accounts is configured to track expenses by department. What this means, briefly, is that when your bookkeeper processes vendor bills or credit card expenses, they include tags that lead to the departments in question, for example, housekeeping, front desk, and food & beverage.

Assigning expenses to the correct department is crucial if you want to determine which areas of your business are consuming the most resources. This data is the foundation for updated resource allocations and budget adjustments.

How do you integrate our POS with the accounting system?

Integration is integral to cloud-based software systems that aim to eliminate old, slow, and error-prone manual processes, especially when it comes to time-consuming data entries. Our strategy is to integrate your Point of Sale (POS) and/or Property Management System (PMS) directly into accounting software.

The primary benefit of this setup is the automatic flow of daily sales data into the general ledger. It doesn’t stop there, however, as we continuously monitor the integration to ensure data integrity and reduce the risk of human error resulting from the unnecessary re-keying of daily sales figures.
