Lastly, I would have your restaurant managers handle the submission, but not approval of payroll. I would also have your manager oversee and control regular inventory of food and beverage. While many may disagree with this I would only recommend this if the bookkeeper is checking all cash deposits vs your sales records. Restaurant Managers - I would have restaurant managers handle cash deposits.
Your bookkeeper should handle the entering of daily sales and the regular reconciliation of your accounts. I would also have your bookkeeper verify all cash deposits. Lastly, I might have the owner handle bank deposits and most cash transactions, but also believe that this task can be handled by a manager.īookkeeping Team - The bookkeeping team should handle entering bills, but not paying them. I would also have the restaurant owner approve payroll. I would never suggest giving your bookkeeper the ability to move money or sign checks as it opens the door to bookkeeper theft. Restaurant Owners - I would suggest that restaurant owners be the only people that have the ability to sign checks, pay bills or move money in anyway. Having both restaurant management and bookkeeping experience I can give some suggestions as to who I would involve in the restaurant bookkeeping and what tasks I would assign them. One thing I would address before anything else is what your bookkeeping needs are and who should be involved with the process.
There are still many modifications and suggestions I will make on a proper QuickBooks setup and bookkeeping procedures for a restaurant.
