Built around how a restaurant actually runs
POS settlements post themselves
Toast, Square, and Clover settlements sync nightly and post straight to the ledger — gross sales, tips, fees, and comps broken out. No more re-typing yesterday's deposit.
A daily P&L, not just monthly
Know whether today made money before you lock the drawer — sales, labor, and food cost prorated per day, not just a number you find out about three weeks later.
Food cost you don't have to chase
Vendor bills and the waste log land in COGS automatically, so food cost % is a number on the dashboard, not a spreadsheet somebody rebuilds every month.
Labor that stays in line
Generate a week's schedule in one click — it respects availability and hour caps, flags overtime and clopenings, and tracks labor % against sales in real time.
The chart of accounts your CPA expects
Seeded from an MSF-format (Uniform System of Accounts style) chart out of the box — the categories a restaurant accountant already knows how to read.
Tip pools, on-call, and shift handoffs
Split tip pools by hours or role, staff an on-call backup automatically, and hand off open items between shifts with notes that don't get lost in a group text.
Common questions
Does Fisco Books integrate with Toast, Square, or Clover?+
Yes — pick the POS your restaurant already runs on in Settings. Fisco Books pulls nightly settlement data (gross sales, tips, fees, comps, and sales-category breakdowns) and posts it straight to the ledger. No manual deposit entry.
What is a daily P&L and why does it matter for restaurants?+
It's an estimated profit-and-loss for a single business day — sales minus a prorated share of labor, food cost, and overhead — instead of waiting for a monthly close. For a business with day-to-day cash-flow swings, it's the difference between finding out you had a bad week today versus three weeks from now.
Does Fisco Books use the Uniform System of Accounts (MSF/USAR-style) chart?+
Yes. Restaurant accounts are seeded from a 5-digit MSF-format chart of accounts and P&L layout — the categorization structure most restaurant CPAs and bookkeepers already work with, so handoff to your accountant doesn't require translation.
Can it track food cost and waste?+
Vendor bills post the cost of goods to the ledger, and a waste log records spoilage, comps, and shrinkage with a cost impact — both feed food cost % on the dashboard and daily P&L automatically.
How does scheduling handle tip pools and on-call shifts?+
The schedule generator builds a week in one click, honoring each person's availability and weekly hour limits, and can staff an on-call backup automatically. Tip pools split by hours worked or role, and time-clock hours flow straight into the payroll extract.
How much does it cost?+
$149/month month-to-month, or $99/month on an annual plan (12-month term) — every feature included, no per-seat pricing. Every new account starts with a 7-day free trial and no card required.
