Petty Cash Management for Restaurants

Manage daily cash-ups, tips, supplier payments, and multi-branch petty cash with real-time visibility.

The Challenge

Restaurants handle high volumes of cash daily. Between cash sales, tips, small supplier payments, and emergency ingredient purchases, cash disappears fast. Multi-branch operations make it worse — each branch has its own float, its own staff, and its own reconciliation headaches. Owners are left guessing where the money went until the accountant reconciles weeks later.

How PettyCash Helps

1

Daily cash-ups: Record opening and closing cash counts with variance alerts. Know immediately if a shift is short.

2

Tip tracking: Separate tips from sales revenue for accurate accounting and fair distribution among staff.

3

Supplier payments: Log every cash payment to suppliers with a receipt. No more untraceable cash withdrawals.

4

Multi-branch dashboard: See all branches in one view. Compare spending, identify anomalies, and standardize procedures.

Case Study Example

A restaurant group with 3 branches was spending 2 hours per branch per day on cash reconciliation. Cash shortages averaged 500 SAR per month per branch with no way to identify the cause. After implementing PettyCash, daily cash-ups take 5 minutes per branch, shortages dropped to near zero with real-time alerts, and the owner can see all 3 branches on one dashboard.
