Restaurant cash reconciliation

Use a Cash & Profit Review to compare till-to-deposit records, processor settlements, and bank credits. Separate timing, refunds, fees, missing records, and unexplained differences before deciding what happened.

Common questions

Does every mismatch mean theft?

No. Timing delays, refunds, fees, posting differences, missing records, and genuine unexplained differences can all create a mismatch. The Review documents evidence before a cause is assigned.

What records are needed?

Bring sales or POS summaries, till and safe counts, deposit records, processor settlements, bank credits, refund and fee details, and closing notes for the stores and period in scope.

Can physical cash and card settlements be reviewed together?

Yes, when the store, business date, settlement date, and bank date can be matched. Missing dates or records remain open questions.

What happens after I submit the form?

We discuss your stores, periods, available records, and what you want answered before agreeing on scope and a fee.

Use the right cash record

For physical cash, compare till and safe counts with the cash prepared for deposit. Match each card or delivery payout to its settlement report, dates, fees, refunds, and adjustments. Then check the bank entry for the amount, date, and reference.

Illustrative Location A check

Illustrative example: Location A’s card sales exceed the bank credit. Check which transactions the processor payout includes, along with its fees, refunds, and dates. Then match the payout to the bank entry. If a difference remains, record the unanswered question and who needs to answer it.

What you receive and how to buy

Consider a Review when deposits or settlements remain unexplained and you need help matching the records. If your bookkeeper already ties them out and resolves exceptions, keep that process. The paid Cash & Profit Review returns ranked findings, evidence, proposed owners, recommended fixes, a 30-day action plan, and a leadership readout. We review only the records you authorize, with read-only access. Before purchase, we confirm which reports or exports Marty can review and whether they can answer your question. Scope and the exact one-time fee are approved before work begins. Delivery is within seven days after agreed access is complete and usable data is available. Optional ongoing help is separate.
