With AI reconciliation and financial close software, restaurants can accurately process massive volumes of transactions while maintaining control, compliance, and confidence in their financials. Transactions from POS systems, third-party delivery platforms, gift cards, loyalty programs, and split tenders can be automatically matched daily with far greater speed and accuracy than manual processes allow. This dramatically reduces close timelines and shifts finance teams’ focus from tedious matching to resolving true exceptions, improving overall close quality.

By automating data collection, transformation, matching, and resolution, AI not only eliminates manual effort but also continuously identifies risk and anomalies. The result is stronger controls, higher-quality financial statements, and ongoing insight into revenue performance and operational efficiency across the restaurant business.

Benefits of Financial Close Automation for Restaurants

Manage Data Across Complex Transactions

For restaurant accounting department, reconciling POS, delivery apps, bank statements, and the general ledger is complex and error-prone when done manually. Trintech automates daily matching across all data sources, quickly surfacing exceptions, reducing manual work, and preventing end-of-period losses.

Focus on Exceptions While Managing Volume

High volumes of multi-way matching transactions are time-consuming, not to mention the added risk of human error and the difficulty of managing discrepancies. AI can help manage this massive amount of data, giving finance and accounting teams the ability to focus on exceptions.

Increased Control and Visibility

Financial data organized in one place provides not only the ability to operate seamlessly in a global landscape, but also to perform in-depth analysis and identify larger patterns. This visibility provides the control necessary to increase efficiency and improve accuracy.

Our overall process has sped up considerably which has allowed us to spend more time on analyzing the data. During the week of period-end close, we are now hosting sessions to actually review the reconciled numbers instead of rushing to get everything reconciled.”
