Accounting software for restaurants
Restaurant accounting software has to turn daily card deposits, delivery payouts and vendor bills into books an owner can read. Adopt keeps the books and monthly close current, and your team approves every entry.
How restaurants handle this today.
Deposits arrive net of fees. Card and delivery payouts land after fees, so they never match the day’s sales.
Thin margins. Food and labor costs need watching every week, not once a quarter.
High transaction volume. Hundreds of small bank and card lines pile up every month.
Several locations. Each one needs its own numbers before the group makes sense.

Adopt prepares the work in the background. Your team reviews and approves it, and every approval stays on the record.
