Chart of Accounts for QuickBooks – Restaurants (Mac)

QuickBooks is the industry standard accounting software.  The Chart of Accounts lays out the structure of how you will input data; and more importantly how your Profit and Loss Statement and Balance Sheet will look.

We recommend that you organize your accounts into meaningful categories.  The most common are:

• Cost of Goods Sold
• Direct Operating
• Payroll
• Repairs and Maintenance
• Occupancy
• General and Administrative
• Advertising and Promotion

Once you have your main categories you can create sub-accounts for things like cleaning supplies (under direct operating) or rent (under occupancy).

Our Chart of Accounts has all the the accounts that a restaurant will need, organized into major categories.
