FAQ

Restaurant Accountants in Tennessee

What's the FICA tip credit and how does it work?

The FICA tip credit lets restaurants claim a tax credit for Social Security and Medicare taxes paid on employee tips above minimum wage. A restaurant-savvy CPA maximizes this credit, which often saves thousands per year per location.

How do you handle inventory accounting for restaurants?

Restaurants track inventory by category (food, liquor, supplies) with weekly or biweekly counts. The right system ties purchases to recipes and menu engineering so you see true plate cost and margin by item.
