Hospitality Accounting
Books that keep pace with your kitchen
Counterly handles the numbers so you can focus on the floor. Clear daily takings, honest wages reporting, and a plain look at your margins — without the jargon.
What we do
Finance that fits a busy venue
Running a cafe or restaurant means your attention is always somewhere urgent. Your books shouldn't add to that. Counterly takes the daily figures off your plate — recorded clearly, reported honestly, and always available when you need them.
Clear daily records
Every trading day captured accurately — cash, card, and supplier costs in one tidy place.
Between-shift friendly
Designed for the pace of service. Reports you can read in minutes, not hours.
Honest reporting
No surprises. Plain-language summaries that tell you exactly where your venue stands.
Why it works
Built around how venues actually run
Most accounting tools weren't designed with a busy Saturday service in mind. Counterly was. Everything here is shaped around the rhythm of hospitality.
Daily takings recorded accurately
Cash tills, card terminals, and delivery platforms all accounted for — each trading day reflects reality.
Wages and tips handled fairly
Service charges, tronc arrangements, and rota costing presented clearly — so your team is always paid correctly.
Menu margins explained plainly
Know which dishes genuinely contribute to your venue — without needing a spreadsheet degree to understand the answer.
Labor cost as a share of sales
Understand your staffing costs relative to revenue — a number that matters deeply in hospitality, reported without fuss.
No jargon, no confusion
Every report uses plain language. If something needs explaining, we explain it — in terms that make sense behind the counter.
Supportive, not prescriptive
We present the numbers and our observations. Decisions stay with you — where they belong.
The process
Simple from the first conversation
Getting started doesn't require paperwork marathons or complicated onboarding. Here's how it usually goes.

A short conversation about your setup — what you run, how many staff, your current record-keeping.
02
We agree what's needed
You choose the services that fit. Nothing pushed on you, nothing hidden in the small print.
03
We take it from there
Daily takings get recorded, wages processed, reports prepared. You carry on running your venue.
