Accounting for the Hospitality Industry, Built Around How You Operate

Hospitality runs on thin margins and fast-moving numbers. Food and beverage costs shift week to week, labor swings with every schedule, and occupancy can change overnight. Without timely, accurate reporting, it is hard to know which nights, rooms, or menu items are actually making money.

Vertices was founded by entrepreneurs who have owned and operated businesses themselves, including in hospitality. We turn your POS, property management, and bank data into clean monthly books and reports you can act on, from prime cost to occupancy and RevPAR. Running a restaurant? Start with our restaurant accounting services.

Hospitality Financial Challenges We Help Solve

Hotels, restaurants, and venues tend to run into the same problems as they grow. Here is where we help most:

Rising Food and Beverage Costs

Menu prices often lag behind supplier increases. We track food and beverage cost by category so you can adjust pricing and purchasing before margins erode.

Labor Costs That Swing With the Schedule

Labor is usually the largest controllable expense. We report labor as a percentage of sales by period so you can staff to demand.

Seasonal and Uneven Cash Flow

Slow seasons, event calendars, and customer deposits make cash hard to predict. Rolling cash flow forecasts help you plan for the lean months.

Sales, Lodging, and Tip Tax Rules

Sales tax, hotel occupancy tax, and tip reporting rules add compliance risk. We help keep records organized and filings on schedule.

Multiple Locations and Revenue Streams

Rooms, food, bar, events, and catering each need their own view. We set up reporting by location and department so nothing gets blended together.

Knowing Which Numbers Matter

We focus on the KPIs that drive hospitality performance, such as prime cost, average daily rate, occupancy, and RevPAR.

How Our Hospitality Accounting Services Work

Every hotel, restaurant, and venue is different, but most engagements follow the same four steps so you get clean books quickly and useful reporting every month after.

01

Review & Cleanup

We review your current books, POS and bank data, and tax filings, then clean up anything that is behind or misclassified.

02

Chart of Accounts Setup

We organize your accounts by revenue stream and department, such as rooms, food, beverage, and events, so costs line up with the sales they support.

03

Monthly Close & Reporting

Each month we reconcile your accounts and deliver financial statements and KPI reports, with time to walk through the results together.

04

Tax Planning & Advisory

Throughout the year we plan for taxes, forecast cash flow, and help you weigh decisions like menu changes, renovations, or a new location.

Engagements are tailored to your size and needs, from monthly bookkeeping for a single restaurant to full accounting and advisory for a multi-location hospitality group. The scope of any engagement is defined in your engagement letter.

Hospitality KPIs We Help You Track

Good hospitality financial management starts with a short list of numbers you review every month. These are the metrics we build into your reporting:

Prime Cost

Food, beverage, and labor costs combined, measured as a percentage of sales. It is the clearest single view of restaurant profitability.

Food & Beverage Cost %

Cost of goods sold by category, so you can see which menu items, suppliers, or pour practices are pulling margins down.

Occupancy & ADR

For hotels, the share of rooms sold and the average daily rate earned on them, tracked by month and season.

RevPAR & Labor %

Revenue per available room shows how well rooms convert to revenue, while labor as a percentage of sales shows whether staffing matches demand.

Restaurants & Cafes

Full-service, fast-casual, and quick-service restaurants that need prime cost visibility and on-time monthly financials. See our dedicated restaurant accounting page.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hospitality Accounting

What do hospitality accounting services include?

Hospitality accounting services typically include monthly bookkeeping and reconciliation, financial statements, cost reporting such as prime cost and food and beverage cost, cash flow forecasting, and tax preparation and planning. At Vertices, we tailor the reporting to how your hotel, restaurant, or venue actually earns revenue.

How is hotel accounting different from restaurant accounting?

Restaurant accounting centers on food, beverage, and labor costs measured against sales. Hotel accounting adds departmental reporting for rooms, food and beverage, and events, plus lodging-specific KPIs such as occupancy, average daily rate (ADR), and revenue per available room (RevPAR).

What is prime cost, and why does it matter?

Prime cost is the combined cost of goods sold (food and beverage) and total labor. It is usually the largest controllable expense in a restaurant, so tracking it every month helps you spot problems early and make pricing, purchasing, and staffing decisions with real numbers. You can estimate yours with our restaurant costs calculator.

Can you work with our POS and property management systems?

Yes. We work with the sales, deposit, and payout data your POS, property management, and delivery systems produce, and reconcile it to your bank and card statements each month.

Do you help with sales tax and hotel occupancy tax?

We help hospitality businesses keep sales and lodging tax records organized and filings on schedule, and we review how these taxes interact with your overall tax plan. The scope of any engagement is defined in your engagement letter.
