Hospitality accounting.
Outlet by outlet.

Yes — a restaurant must register for VAT once taxable supplies exceed AED 375,000 over the previous 12 months, and may register voluntarily from AED 187,500. Dine-in, delivery and aggregator sales all count towards the threshold, so multi-channel outlets often cross it earlier than expected. We handle VAT registration and returns for F&B businesses.

Daily sales reconciliation matches what the POS says you sold to what actually arrived — cash counts, card settlements and aggregator payouts — every single day. It is the fastest way to catch leakage, missed settlements and aggregator fee errors in F&B. We run daily POS-to-bank reconciliation as part of multi-outlet bookkeeping for hospitality clients.

Service charge, municipality and tourism fees should be identified and accounted for separately from food and beverage revenue, since they follow their own rules and remittance obligations by emirate. Bundling them into sales overstates revenue and muddies the VAT workings. We separate these fees in the ledgers as standard for hospitality clients.

Consolidation works when every outlet uses a consistent chart of accounts, per-outlet ledgers roll into one group view, and inter-outlet transactions are eliminated. Done properly, you can compare outlets like-for-like on prime cost and margin. Our hospitality bookkeeping consolidates multi-outlet groups and produces outlet-level management accounts.
