Restaurant Transactions

Hello behnamk,

Welcome! It's great to have you join the QuickBooks family. I can appreciate how diving into an accounting software like QuickBooks Desktop might be a bit daunting, but I'm here to help make it as easy as possible. I'd be happy to go over how you can record daily transactions and work with the banking feed in the program.

I'll start with the daily transactions. For daily sales specifically, this can be recorded using a sales receipt transaction in QuickBooks Desktop. There's actually a great in-product help article about this that walks you through the steps to accomplish this. I'll show you how to pull that article up.

1. Select Help in the top menu of the program.
2. Choose QuickBooks Desktop Help.
3. Click the Help tab.
4. Select the Search button.
5. Use keywords like "daily sales" to find articles.
6. Click the Enter daily sales article.

That initial article will help with creating the transaction, but you'll also notice there are other articles that go over the reporting for daily sales and other things like that. Simply select those to read what they're all about.

If you're curious about the expenses and bills side of things, there isn't an equivalent to record a single transaction for a summary of the day's expenses. This'll mean recording individual bills and expense transactions as needed. These articles can help.

• Enter bills in QuickBooks Desktop

• Pay bills in QuickBooks Desktop

You'll note that the Enter bills feature also accommodates the option to enter expenses, so those articles will still be able to help you with that as well.

Next, I'll go over banking feeds in QuickBooks Desktop. While you can connect the bank feed and manually add and match transactions, there's no way to set it up to do so automatically. Don't worry, the manual process is still fairly simple, and I've got an article that can get you started and link you to other helpful banking feed articles: Get started with Bank Feeds for QuickBooks Desktop

That should get you started with what you're asking about here! If you have more questions about some of the features in QuickBooks Desktop, either the in-product help area I showed you or this community forum are good resources where you can search for answers. Feel free to ask more questions if you have them as well.

I hope you enjoy your day!

THANK YOU FOR EXPLANATION 

The problem is my help page does not show up! 

but when i print the page it does show me the answer! and my answer wasn't in the list 

the problem i have is, we have lot of daily deposit as a restaurant, and i dont want to track inventory in qb for now, i just want to keep the record of sales and expenses and cogs for now 

but i dont know how to save time to skip the entering sales one by one in the account! 

for example right now i got the total sales of our UberEATS but when i entered as of sales order for full month, in the Docs>statements section qb can not identify the deposits by Uber in Statement and i cant enter all sales for every night one by one! please help me understand this 

Hi behnamk,

When deciding how to many batch entries into your QuickBooks Desktop Company file I'd recommend reaching out to an accountant. This is due to them being trained on how to make these entries without having a negative effect on your books. If you don't have an accountant no worries. You can find one by going to our Find an Accountant page to find one in your area to help.

If you have any questions feel free to reach out and we'd be happy to help!
