Shops and retailers

Point-of-sale totals are matched to deposits, inventory purchases are separated from operating costs, and sales tax is tracked by period. A monthly inventory and gross margin check shows which lines actually pay.

Restaurants and food businesses

Daily sales, tips, delivery-app payouts and card fees all land in the bank differently, so each is reconciled on its own. Food and beverage cost is tracked monthly against sales, and sales tax collected is kept apart from revenue.

Auto and repair businesses

Parts, labor and shop supplies are tracked separately so each job's margin is clear, customer deposits and warranty work are recorded as they occur, and parts inventory is checked against the shelf at least quarterly.

General bookkeeping practice, not tax or legal advice.
