Hospitality runs on thin margins and long hours. Wages, food costs, rent and suppliers all need watching, and payroll, with award rates, penalty rates and super, has to be right every week.
We help Melbourne cafés, restaurants, bars, takeaways and caterers stay on top of the numbers, from daily sales through to BAS, payroll and tax, so you can focus on your customers.
We work with clients across Melbourne from our offices in Mount Waverley, Port Melbourne and North Melbourne.

Frequently asked questions
Can you help us pay staff the right award rates?
Yes. We'll set up payroll using your award's pay rates and penalty rates, run pay runs if you'd like us to, and keep Single Touch Payroll and super on time. If a question needs a workplace relations specialist, we'll tell you.
Is GST charged on food?
Some food is GST-free, but food eaten on the premises and hot takeaway food include GST, and so do many drinks and snacks. The rules are detailed, so we'll check how your POS treats each item and make sure your BAS is right.
Which POS systems work with Xero?
Many popular POS systems, including Square and Lightspeed, connect to Xero. We'll check how yours connects and set it up so sales flow through correctly.
Can you help us buy a café or restaurant?
Yes. Before you buy, we'll review the financials, test the sales and wage figures, and look at the structure and tax side, so you know what you're really paying for.
