Restaurant Accounting Software – Microsoft Dynamics NAV

The Restaurant Quick Start Company Template gets you up and running on Microsoft Dynamics NAV with minimal setup on your part. Restaurant company template includes:

• Pre-configured setup tables.
• Restaurant chart of accounts.
• Pre-built recurring journal entries to record Daily Sales Reports (DSRs) if you do not choose to automate the interface with your POS system.
• Pre-built financial statements including an income statement with food, beverage, liquor, beer and wine costs as a percent of related revenue, income statement by store, and more.
• Conversion utilities to import vendors, catering customers, opening balances from QuickBooks, Great Plains, MAS90/200, and other software.
• Customized menu for quick access to functions most used by restaurants.
• All settings are easily changed to fit your unique needs.

• Rapidly analyze revenue & cost of sales by Location, Area Manager, Food, Beverage, Alcohol, Catering, Coffee Bar, Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, etc.
• Report on Promotions, Coupons, Guest Counts, etc.
• Report by Sales Managers, Territories, States, DMA, etc.
• Reporting by any classification is made possible by simply assigning a G/L ‘Dimension’ code to each classification, replacing the old-style fixed G/L account segments.
• Dimension codes can be added quickly and independently anytime, without having to add all the potential G/L accounts that may post to them.
• Label G/L Dimensions with names, numbers, or codes you choose.
• G/L accounts are used in combination with Dimensions in identifying or posting each transaction to the G/L.
• When converting to Dynamics NAV, some clients have reduced their G/L accounts from over 10,000, in an attempt to analyze many locations and components of their business, to only 100′s of accounts.

• Generate financials by day, week, 28 days, month, quarter, YTD, etc.
• At the same time, accounting periods may be defined and reported monthly.
• Dynamics NAV is entirely date sensitive, enabling sales, cost, and expense analysis by any date range.

• Seamlessly connect Microsoft Dynamics NAV accounting with restaurant POS or POS back office systems (including Aloha, MenuLink, POSitouch, NorthStar, Digital Dining, Micros, Transaction Web, and others).
• Automatically retrieve POS information from any POS based on MS SQL Server and non-SQL systems which create export files (this often occurs during the end-of-day process).
• Avoid double keying data from each location into accounting.
• Daily Sales Report (DSR) info is automatically transferred to Dynamics NAV accounting.
