      Toast Sales Summary and Why Automate Accounting for Toast

      Here we discuss the journal entry available for Toast as well as why to automate accounting for Toast

      Toast POS (Point of Sale) is a cloud-based restaurant management software that helps restaurants streamline their operations, increase efficiency, and improve customer experience. Toast POS is popular among restaurants of all sizes, from small cafes to large chains.

      Toast Sales Summary Accounting Automation

      Bookkeep enables you to integrate your Toast POS to automate journal entry postings.

      For Toast, we offer a daily sales summary journal entry. For help on establishing the connection to Toast, visit this article: https://knowledge.bookkeep.com/how-to-connect-toast-to-bookkeep

      The sales summary journal entry posts to your accounting platform on a daily basis the sales from the prior day. This aims to capture the gross sales down to the net sales including discounts, refunds, etc. Additionally, this journal entry breaks down the payments by tender type such as cash versus credit card payments. 

      Additionally, we capture all orders except those with a status of open, voided, denied or error.

      Please note that Bookkeep does not see any older orders that are refunded. For example, if an order was refunded on the same day as the sale, Bookkeep will capture and record that. However, if the sales happened on 7/31 but was refunded on 8/10, Toast does not share that information for older refunds.

      Toast also does not share any deposit sales collected. This is unfortunately a limitation of the data shared by Toast.
