Accounting for Restaurants & Hospitality in Nashville

Restaurant finance is a weekly discipline, not a monthly one. Prime cost — food plus labour — moves fast enough that a monthly close tells you about a problem three weeks after it started costing money. Multi-location groups need the same numbers per site before any of it is useful.

  • Weekly prime cost reporting, with food and labour tracked against sales as a percentage
  • Theoretical vs actual food cost, so waste and portioning show up as a number
  • Per-location P&L with shared overhead allocated on a stated basis
  • POS, delivery platform and payment processor settlements reconciled gross of fees
  • Tip handling, tip credit and multi-state payroll tax compliance
  • Four-week rolling cash forecast, because the industry runs thin on working capital

Questions From This Industry

Why weekly reporting instead of monthly?

Prime cost is the number that decides whether a restaurant makes money, and it moves week to week with purchasing, waste and scheduling. Finding out at month end that food cost ran four points high means the money is already gone. Weekly, it is a correctable operating problem.

How do you handle delivery platform revenue?

Booked gross with each commission, marketing fee and adjustment recorded as its own line. Recording the net deposit as revenue hides the true cost of the channel — and delivery is frequently the line doing meaningful volume at negative contribution once it is measured properly.

What does a monthly close actually include?

Bank, card and payment-processor reconciliation to zero unexplained difference; AP and AR aging tied to their balance sheet control accounts; payroll and employer taxes posted and reconciled; accruals, prepaids and deferred revenue booked; depreciation posted; a full balance sheet reconciliation with a schedule behind every account; and a variance review against budget and prior month before anything is distributed.

How long should our close take?

Ten business days is a comfortable standard for most businesses under $20M, and that is what we run to. Five is realistic for a simple single-entity company with automated feeds. If yours takes twenty, the cause is almost always sequencing rather than staffing — cash has to reconcile before AP, AP before accruals, accruals before the P&L means anything.

Can you clean up books that are months behind?

Yes. Budget roughly 1.5x the normal monthly rate for each month being cleaned up, with a floor around $1,500. Twelve months behind at an $800/month run rate is realistically a $10,000–$15,000 project, and it has to finish before ongoing work produces trustworthy numbers.

Do you work with companies in Nashville?

Yes. We work with clients across the Southeast and nationwide. Our team operates in Central time and can accommodate your schedule.
