What we do for F&B operators

Daily Z-read reconciliation

POS Z-reads matched to bank deposits, card-processor settlements and cash counts daily, not monthly. Variances flagged immediately.

Multi-outlet consolidation

Per-outlet profitability with rolled-up consolidated reporting. Cost-of-goods-sold tracked at SKU level where stock systems allow.

Service charge & tip pooling

Service charge VAT treatment, tip-pool ledger accounting, payroll integration where service charges are paid through wages.

Delivery aggregator reconciliation

Talabat, Deliveroo, Careem Food — commission, VAT and settlement reconciliations. Net vs gross reporting clarified.

Food cost & wastage tracking

Recipe cost engineering, weekly food cost reporting, wastage and shrinkage analysis tied to operational decisions.

Corporate Tax for multi-entity

Group structures across multiple outlets and brands, QFZP eligibility per legal entity, transfer-pricing for inter-outlet supplies.

The five risks we monitor for you

1
Service charge VAT treatmentWhether the 10% service charge is part of the consideration for the supply (VAT applies) or a discretionary tip pool (it doesn't) depends on the menu disclosure. Misapplied historically by many operators.
2
Cash leakageF&B is a cash-intensive sector. Daily Z-read to bank-deposit reconciliation is the single most effective fraud control. Year-end-only reconciliation almost guarantees leakage.
3
Aggregator commission misclassificationTalabat and Deliveroo commissions can be booked as expense or netted against revenue. Wrong treatment distorts both Corporate Tax and VAT positions.
4
Stock count adjustments at year-endLarge year-end stock adjustments without monthly counts are an audit qualification trigger. We schedule monthly counts as part of the engagement.
5
WPS payroll and gratuity provisionsService charge paid through payroll must comply with WPS rules. End-of-service gratuity must be provisioned monthly, not at year-end.
