Bookkeeping for cloud kitchens and bakeries
Cloud kitchens often run several brands from one kitchen, almost entirely through delivery apps. We split sales, commissions and costs by brand, so you know which brands make money and your VAT on delivery sales is right.
Common challenges we fix
- Several brands sharing one kitchen and one team
- Delivery app payouts net of commission and promotions
- Food cost and wastage hard to measure
- Packaging and ingredient costs rising
What we handle for you
- Sales and commissions recorded gross, by app and by brand
- Shared kitchen costs allocated across brands
- Food cost and wastage tracked monthly
- Supplier statements reconciled
- Payroll, WPS and VAT returns
- Profit report for each brand
Frequently asked questions
Can you show profit for each brand?
Yes. We record each brand's sales and direct costs separately and share kitchen, rent and staff costs on a fair basis.
How should delivery app sales be recorded for VAT?
Record the full sale with output VAT, and the app's commission as a separate cost with the VAT it charges you. See our guide to restaurant accounting for a worked example.
