Restaurants lose money in the gap between the POS, the tip-out and the bank. Listed accountants on our platform close that gap each month and file the corporate return, HST and payroll from the same set of books.
Daily sales, discounts, delivery-app payouts and cash tips rarely match the deposit. Staff turnover makes T4s and Records of Employment a constant job.
The accountants listed here reconcile food cost, tips and HST so you can see margin before the CRA asks for it.
What is handled for restaurants
Corporate tax filing (T2)
The restaurant corporation's return is prepared from reconciled daily sales and filed on time.
POS reconciliation
Card, cash and delivery-app payouts are matched to the POS so sales, fees and tax agree.
Tips and payroll
Tip-outs, source deductions, T4s and Records of Employment are handled through staff turnover.
Food cost
Purchases and inventory are tracked so you can see food cost instead of guessing from the bank balance.
HST
HST on meals is reconciled to POS tax collected and filed on your schedule.
Paying the owner
Salary, dividends and cash taken from the till are reviewed so shareholder loans stay clean.
Who this helps
- Independent restaurants and cafés
- Multi-location food businesses
- Owners with delivery-app sales
- Restaurants catching up on filings

Corporate tax for restaurants FAQ
Answers to common questions in Ontario.
Do restaurants charge HST on meals?
Yes. Restaurant meals and most prepared food are taxable. Basic groceries you might sell on the side can be zero-rated, so the POS tax setup has to match the menu.
How should tips be handled for payroll?
Controlled tips that the restaurant collects and pays out are generally pensionable and insurable. A listed payroll service sets up the pay run so T4s are right.
Can you reconcile Uber Eats or DoorDash payouts?
Yes. Payouts are split back into sales, fees, tips and tax so they match the POS.
We are a year behind. Can the books be rebuilt?
Yes. Listed bookkeepers rebuild from POS exports and bank deposits, then the overdue returns are filed.
How much do corporate tax for restaurants services cost?
Fees depend on the scope and complexity of your situation. After a free consultation we give you a clear quote before any work begins.
