Accounting and invoicing for takeaways and pizzerias

Collection, delivery, company orders and party platters: a takeaway sells fast and rarely bills by invoice. Saldiqo takes over those rare cases, records purchases, delivery portal statements and expenses and shows which channel pays off.

What comes up for takeaways and pizzerias

Few invoices, many receipts

Most sales run through the till. Invoices arise with company orders and party platters.

Delivery portals

Portals pay out in bundles and deduct commission. The statements have to be matched to income.

Daily purchases

Flour, cheese, meat, vegetables and packaging are often bought in cash. The receipts should be captured properly.
