POS versus deposits
Card processors, cash, discounts, refunds, and timing can separate POS totals from bank deposits.
Restaurant bookkeeping
Clean restaurant books beyond the daily sales report.

Industry context
Daily sales reports do not automatically become clean monthly books.
Restaurant bookkeeping has to connect POS activity, processor timing, delivery platforms, payroll bookkeeping, vendors, and the cash that actually reaches the bank.
Delivery platforms
Third-party platforms may deposit net amounts after fees, commissions, or adjustments.
Labor and vendors
Payroll-related entries and frequent food, beverage, supply, and service purchases shape the monthly picture.
What we understand
What restaurant bookkeeping needs to organize
POS and processor activity
Use available reports to organize sales and deposit activity.
Delivery platforms
Keep third-party deposits, fees, and adjustments visible where scoped.
Payroll bookkeeping context
Coordinate the bookkeeping entries behind an existing payroll process.
Food, beverage, and vendors
Categorize recurring purchasing and operating costs consistently.
Monthly reporting
Deliver the applicable reports after the included accounts are reconciled.
Location scope
Confirm multiple locations, accounts, systems, and reporting needs before enrollment.
Monthly rhythm
A close process built around the real activity.
The work stays practical: access, reconciliation, exception review, reports, and clear answers when the file needs judgment.
Map POS and deposit sources
Confirm systems, processors, platforms, operating accounts, and locations.
Reconcile the month
Organize included deposits, fees, payroll bookkeeping, vendor spending, bank, and card activity.
Review multi-location scope
Confirm added systems, accounts, entities, and reporting requirements before work begins.
Scope guardrail
Payroll processing, tax filing, and restaurant compliance are not included.
Sales-tax bookkeeping is distinct from filing. Multiple locations, high account counts, or unusual POS and delivery-platform complexity require scope review.
QuickBooks ownership
Your books stay in your QuickBooks file.
LedgerCrew works inside the QuickBooks Online file you control, so you keep ownership, admin access, and a clean handoff if your needs change.
Subscription note: QuickBooks Online is billed separately. If you need a subscription, LedgerCrew can provide it and include it on your bill.
