Summary
Restaurant bookkeeping should trace sales receipts, record costs, reconcile accounts and identify missing inputs. Confirm close and reporting tasks separately.
Sales need more than a POS total
The bookkeeper needs settlement and bank information to explain receipts, fees and refunds. Ask how the provider traces a deposit to the trading activity it represents.
Supplier and payroll records need a collection routine
Bills, credits and payroll reports arrive on different dates. Name who supplies each source, how it is delivered and who answers incomplete-record questions.
Reconciliation needs an exception list
Ask to see what matched and what remains unexplained. Each outstanding amount should have its source reference, next check and responsible contact.
Confirm what happens at month-end
Close preparation, financial reports and review meetings are not automatic parts of every bookkeeping package. Identify them in the scope, alongside cleanup and tax work.
