Guide to Restaurant Accounting Software

Accounting software for restaurants manages the kitchen efficiently while creating a smooth POS operation


Restaurant accounting software systems address two categories: kitchen operations and point of sale (POS) systems. Kitchen software is used by the chef for recipe management, inventory and ordering. POS restaurant accounting programs handle a wide range of accounting functions that may include credit card payments, gift card purchases, time clock, payroll, special pricing (lunch and happy hour), reporting and more.

Restaurant accounting software that combines both kitchen software and POS applications creates a seamless accounting system that can help you reduce food costs, maximize profits, streamline the payroll process and virtually eliminate errors in customer checks.

When shopping for restaurant accounting applications, consider the following:

1. Restaurant accounting programs that cost out kitchen operations, including inventory control, recipe and menu costing, purchasing and ordering.
2. POS systems that integrate with foodservice accounting software.
3. Restaurant accounting programs that integrate kitchen and POS systems.
4. Multi-site and corporate restaurant accounting software.



Action Steps

The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Restaurant accounting programs for the kitchen Managing and costing out recipes, ordering ingredients and tracking inventory keep the kitchen running efficiently while preventing theft and shrinkage. Often this kind of accounting software for restaurants is designed to integrate with POS systems.

I recommend:  TracRite’s OC Lite is a basic recipe-costing program that suggests pricing to maximize profits. If you do more than $1 million per year in sales, OC Pro adds inventory tracking, ordering and purchasing, catering, reporting and systems integration for POS. Culinary Software Services’ ChefTec accounting software for restaurants, hotels and catering services offers menu costing, inventory control, nutritional analysis, purchasing and ordering. A hosted version is available as well as ChefTec PDA for Palm devices to facilitate inventory counting. Compeat Back Office combines restaurant specific accounting practices with menu costing, proportions, inventory and more.

Point of sale restaurant accounting applications POS restaurant accounting applications combine POS hardware with a software package for management and reporting.

I recommend:  Designed to integrate with Microsoft POS Retail Management System and Microsoft Quicksell, Aldelo NextPOS Restaurant software comes in three versions, including one specifically designed for pizza ordering and delivery. All three versions come with multilingual support. POSNation.com offers POS software that speeds credit card processing, accepts gift cards and handles other cash register accounting functions. Find more restaurant POS software options in the Business.com directory.

Integrated foodservice accounting software Comprehensive restaurant accounting applications brings kitchen operations together with POS operations, providing complete visibility into your foodservice operation.

I recommend:  Business Software Solutions’ Business Plus Accounting Restaurant Professional brings together POS features with menus, inventory, employee management and cash out as well as an optional Drink Module with cocktail recipes and alcohol inventory. Business Plus Accounting Restaurant Delivery adds the ability to take orders for delivery with mapping and driver management.

Multi-site and corporate accounting software for restaurants Many foodservice accounting software programs are designed for restaurants, hotels and catering operations that have multiple locations that report back to a parent organization.

I recommend:  Culinary Software Services’ CorTec restaurant accounting software for hotels, chains and franchises runs at corporate headquarters, connecting via the Internet with ChefTec Client software running in dispersed food service locations. CostGuard restaurant accounting software offers inventory control; recipe, menu, and liquor costing; nutrition analysis and sales management. It is designed to interface with suppliers, POS, accounting and catering systems.

Tips & Tactics

  • Consider restaurant accounting applications for alcoholic beverages, pizza delivery and other profit centers.
  • If you have one location and are planning to add more, shop for restaurant accounting programs that have multi-site support.
