See, your restaurant isn’t like other businesses. Your accounting software doesn’t speak Toast or Square. Also, your bookkeeper doesn’t understand why delivery fees kill your margins. They don’t track tips correctly and they definitely don’t know which menu items actually make money.
Mayatax gets it. We’ve worked with dozens of Houston restaurants, so we know how to cut food waste, track every cash settlement, and keep you compliant on taxes. Most important? We know how to show you the real numbers so you can actually grow.
Running a restaurant means juggling multiple revenue streams, tracking expenses across dozens of vendors, managing labor, handling cash from different channels, and staying compliant with taxes. Generic bookkeeping doesn’t work; you need someone who understands how restaurants actually operate.
You’re making money from dine-in, takeout, DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub, catering. We track each one separately and account for platform fees and commissions. You see which channels actually make money and which ones are just volume that costs you money.

Food costs are the metric that matters. Most restaurants should run 28-35%. We track what you buy versus what you use so we catch waste, spoilage, and inventory issues. You see your food costs as a percentage of revenue so you know exactly where you stand.
Labor’s your second-biggest expense. We track it by shift, position, and week so you see if you’re overstaffed. Our team also handles tip reporting, wage compliance, overtime, and payroll taxes to keep you free from repetitive work.
We reconcile every day. Whether it is about card deposits, DoorDash and Uber settlements, gift cards, house charges, promos, we track it all. Also, we get you weekly or daily cash reports so you always know what you actually have available.
Food and liquor get taxed differently which is why we make sure your POS categorizes correctly. We find deductions most bookkeepers miss and plan for seasonal changes so you’re never overpaying or facing surprise penalties.
Mayatax has worked with casual spots, fine dining, QSR, ghost kitchens, and multi-location operations. We’ve seen problems firsthand and solved them constantly. Do you have issues regarding POS systems, delivery platforms or restaurant tax rules? Let us handle all for you.
Your bookkeeper understands your taxes and your tax advisor knows your restaurant operations. That’s two different people doing two different things. Sometimes, it is difficult to keep track of both which is why at Mayatax, we offer you one team that sees everything and actually understand how restaurants work.
We don’t file paperwork and disappear but track your numbers monthly. Whether your food costs are spiking or labor creeping up? We flag it. With us, you get to fix your problems before they blow up your profit.
Restaurant owners work nights and weekends and they may have questions at odd hours. This leads to communication or time management issues. At Mayatax, we offer constant support and declare transparent timings. We’re here to speak your language and understand the urgency.
We pull data directly from each platform and match it to your POS. Then we account for commissions, refunds, and promos. Each platform shows separate numbers so you see actual net profit, not just gross revenue. What you’re actually making, not the top-line number.
We handle everything, whether it is tip reporting, wage compliance, withholding, overtime, federal rules, or state rules. With us, you will be compliant and your tips from your POS integrate into payroll automatically and accurately.
It’s simple math! What you start with plus what you buy minus what you end with tells us what you actually used. We match that to your POS data to catch discrepancies to help you see your food cost as a percentage of revenue so you know if you’re in the right range.
In food industry, food, prepared meals, and liquor, all get taxed differently. Your POS might not categorize correctly, so we verify and fix it. Also, we find deductions in places where most people miss like kitchen equipment, uniforms, and certain food costs. We make sure you’re only paying what you legally owe.
You get monthly statements within 10 days of month-end and weekly cash reports only if you ask for. Plus, you also get an online dashboard where you can check key metrics anytime. We don’t celebrate keeping our clients in dark.
You’re running something complex with tight margins and multiple revenue streams. Big compliance headaches. You don’t need a bookkeeper who treats you like a retail shop or office. You need someone who gets restaurants.
Let’s talk about how real restaurant bookkeeping can give you the clarity to make smarter decisions and actually grow.
