Bookkeeping for Calgary Restaurants and Trucking Companies
Restaurants and trucking companies have bookkeeping challenges that general bookkeepers often miss. Garg Accounting works with both, and we set up books that match how your business actually runs.
Restaurant bookkeeping
- Sales from every channel: POS systems and delivery apps (Uber Eats, DoorDash, SkipTheDishes), recorded with their commissions and fees.
- Tips and gratuities handled correctly through payroll.
- GST on sales and input tax credits on food suppliers, equipment and rent.
- Food and labour cost tracking so you can see your margins each month.
- Payroll for kitchen and front-of-house staff, T4s and WCB Alberta.
Trucking and owner-operator bookkeeping
- Revenue by load or broker, matched to settlement statements.
- Fuel, repairs, insurance, permits and truck financing recorded and claimed.
- Capital cost allowance on trucks and trailers.
- Meal claims for long-haul drivers where they qualify.
- Fuel tax records kept organized for carriers that travel outside Alberta.
- GST returns and corporate or personal tax filing.
Why it matters
Accurate books mean bigger GST credits, fewer CRA questions and a clear picture of which menu items, routes or customers actually make money.
Frequently asked questions
Do you record Uber Eats and DoorDash sales properly?
Yes. We record gross sales, commissions and fees from each delivery app so GST and income are reported correctly.
Can you do bookkeeping for owner-operator truck drivers?
Yes. We record revenue by load, fuel, repairs, insurance and truck costs, and prepare your GST and tax returns.
Do you work with QuickBooks?
Yes. We set up and maintain books in QuickBooks Online and can work with your existing file.
How often should a restaurant do its bookkeeping?
Monthly at minimum. Weekly is better for busy restaurants, so sales, tips and supplier bills stay accurate.
