ACCOUNTING FOR CATERING ESTABLISHMENTS
The uniqueness of this business lies in the high daily turnover of products, the need for high quality service, prompt customer service and constant attention to hygiene and food safety requirements.
High staff turnover, complex working time management, the need to accurately calculate the cost of meals, control balances and write-offs all require efficient management and meticulous bookkeeping.
Detailed and timely warehouse accounting
The high turnover and short shelf-life of raw materials and the use of perishable goods (food, beverages) in the catering business require particularly good warehouse and stock management and accounting. Our accountants help clients to integrate the systems and equipment used by the client with the accounting software to ensure the correctness of the accounting.
Cash, cash accounting
As the business uses cash as well as bank cards, our accountants advise our clients on how to organise their cash accounts correctly. Our accountants monitor cash registers and daily reports and carry out periodic checks. Specialists ensure that data from the cash register (or POS system) is automatically or periodically transferred to the accounting software.
Payroll accounting
Payroll accounting in the catering industry has its own specificities, as the sector often involves shift work, part-time work, weekends and holidays, and a high turnover of staff. The most common method of accounting for working time is total time and therefore payroll accounting requires flexibility, accuracy and care.
Recruitment and dismissal of staff
Staff turnover in catering is very high indeed, with the additional impact of seasonality. As staff changes frequently, our accountants handle the recruitment, dismissal and changes to employment contracts quickly. Accountants advise clients on compliance with legal requirements (working time standards, minimum wage, etc.). Accountants advise on the employment of foreigners, if necessary, as this is a business that employs a large number of them.
