Restaurants live and die on margins most owners can’t see clearly. ATS gives you clean, current books tuned for food service — food and labour cost tracking, tip handling, POS integration, and GST/QST — so you finally know what each shift, menu, and location is really making.
How is bookkeeping for a restaurant different? Restaurant bookkeeping has to handle high transaction volume from a POS, daily sales and cash reconciliation, tips and gratuities, food and beverage cost of goods, and tight labour-cost tracking — on top of the usual GST/QST and payroll. ATS connects your POS to QuickBooks or Xero, reconciles daily sales, and reports the numbers restaurateurs actually run on: food cost %, labour cost %, and prime cost — so you can protect your margins.
A generic bookkeeper records your sales; a restaurant-aware one tells you your food cost is creeping and your Tuesday labour is too high. ATS connects your point-of-sale, reconciles daily deposits and cash, tracks food and beverage cost against sales, and keeps payroll and tips clean — then hands you reporting built around prime cost, the number that decides whether a restaurant makes money. Clean books also mean GST/QST and year-end are never a scramble.
