Automate restaurant bank reconciliation with AI-powered software that handles high transaction volumes, multiple locations, tip tracking, and POS integration. Cut month-end close from days to hours.

Restaurant bank reconciliation software automates the matching of bank deposits with POS sales, credit card processing, and cash receipts. This is critical for restaurants due to high daily transaction volumes (200-500+ transactions), multiple revenue streams (dine-in, delivery, catering), complex payment methods (cash, cards, gift cards, apps), and tip reconciliation requirements.

With Zera Books, restaurant accountants and bookkeepers convert bank statement PDFs to Excel/CSV in 60 seconds using proprietary Zera OCR technology trained specifically on financial documents. Our AI Categorization automatically recognizes restaurant expense patterns—food cost, labor, merchant fees, third-party delivery commissions—and organizes transactions for seamless QuickBooks or Xero import.

Quick Takeaways:

  • Process 500+ daily restaurant transactions in under 60 seconds with Zera OCR
  • Multi-Account Support handles multiple locations and account types simultaneously
  • AI Categorization recognizes restaurant-specific expenses and revenue streams
  • POS-compatible output for Toast, Square, Clover, Lightspeed reconciliation
  • Cut month-end reconciliation from 3 days to 4 hours (real customer result)

Unlike generic accounting software that requires manual entry or expensive restaurant-specific platforms (Restaurant365, MarginEdge) with high monthly fees, Zera Books focuses on the most time-consuming bottleneck: getting transaction data from bank statement PDFs into usable format. At $79/month with unlimited conversions, you handle bank reconciliation for unlimited restaurant locations without per-location fees.
