Countermeasures for six financial loopholes in restaurants

Finance and cash have always been the most sensitive topics in management. In particular, loopholes in every link of the catering industry may lead to damage to enterprises. Below, I will share the countermeasures for six financial loopholes in restaurants, hoping to help you!

The menu is not checked carefully

The front desk is settled by the waiter, and the kitchen also prepares dishes by the waiter, so the front desk and the kitchen are connected by the waiter. In many hotels, there is no link between the reception desk and the kitchen, and the system is only a formality. If the cashier at the front desk copies another copy according to the order menu in order to keep it clean, there will be loopholes and the phenomenon of income interception if there is no serious check among the waiter, the front desk and the kitchen.

Countermeasures:

Strictly improve the check system between the front desk and the kitchen, and the menu can't be duplicated. According to the original attachment, both parties check the menu every day, and after checking, they sign the daily income summary table before accounting can be recognized.

The original attachments are incomplete

The accounting of catering industry has a characteristic, that is, there are many original attachments in accounting and they are frequently transmitted. Only when the bookkeeping is accurate and the account is clear can the account be settled accurately when the customer leaves, otherwise it may cause the phenomenon of missing accounts and bring irreparable losses to the hotel. As the basis of consumption settlement, the original attachment will bring losses to enterprises if it is distorted or lost. In the daily management of original attachments, some take blank original attachments to make drafts, and there is no special person to keep them; In use, the incorrectly filled waste forms are not returned, but they are thrown away after being copied again, and some of them are used without serial numbers, which is easy to cause financial loopholes.

Countermeasures:

The original attachments should be designed in quadruplicate according to the characteristics of catering industry, the contents of business items and the requirements of accounting, and each copy should be numbered consecutively. The management of original attachments should be carried out by special personnel according to the management method of invoices, and the storage and collection should be registered. One customer, one table and one sheet should be used, and the serial number should be used. Every month, the number should be checked, cleaned and cancelled, and the use situation should be checked. All the waste sheets should be returned.

The discount authority is not clear

Catering charges are often discounted, especially for private rooms. If the manager has to sign every discount, the workload is heavy and it is difficult for the department head to work. But if everyone has the right to give customers a discount, it will cause confusion.

Countermeasures:

According to the characteristics of catering, formulate a management system of discount authority, and grant all units, departments, reception desks and waiters the authority to discount at different levels during off-season, peak season, group consumption and students' group consumption. When discounts are needed, all authorized personnel shall sign within the discount authority respectively, and those who need to discount beyond their authority shall ask for instructions from the next higher level leader.

cashier management is not centralized

the operation of catering industry is scattered and scattered, which is not convenient for centralized management. In the daily operation, the cashier at each point collects money according to the consumption list, and then submits it to the finance the next day. In this operation mode, the funds occupy a lot and are unsafe, which is easy to cause account leakage, interception of income and losses.

countermeasures:

in order to ensure that all the daily income of each point is recovered, we should establish a complete set of operating procedures, improve the cashier management system, ensure the timely, complete and full recovery of funds, and accelerate the capital turnover.

Unreal sales revenue

The catering industry has a wide range of operating points, complicated sales and revenue, and strong timeliness. The amount of sales revenue is generally filled in by the waiter, and the cashier settles the account according to the bill and cash delivered by the waiter. If the waiter is careless or deliberately fraudulent, and there is no corresponding reconciliation management in the front hall and kitchen, loopholes will arise.

Countermeasures:

In accounting, in order to timely, truly, accurately and comprehensively reflect the sales and income situation, we should strictly formulate the management system and set up full-time auditors to check whether the income realization situation of the day is correct; Consumer bills should be kept by a special person, and a registration system for keeping, receiving and using should be established. At the end of each month, inventory and verification should be done, and the consumer bills of operating points, cashiers, waiters and auditors should be checked with each other to ensure that the accounts are consistent. Foreign selling points should make a registration system for sending and receiving scales, make daily reconciliation and settlement, formulate the operation procedures for take-out and the transfer procedures for original documents, and the cashier should fill in the daily income statement according to the original attachments to ensure the authenticity and accuracy of accounting income.

The signing procedure is not perfect

There is also a very sensitive issue in the catering industry, that is, the signing of the bill for public consumption. In the consumption of public funds, leaders are often reluctant to sign the bill, and often ask their subordinates or accompanying drivers to sign the bill. This not only brings unnecessary trouble to the collection, but also is not conducive to maintaining the relationship between the hotel and its customers. In addition, when collecting money, some signing departments ask for discounts, so there is a difference between accounts receivable and paid-in, which is prone to loopholes, causing the phenomenon of missing accounts and bringing losses.

Countermeasures:

Improve the management system of bill signing, do a good job in investigating the credit degree of bill signing, and determine the personnel in the department who have the ability to sign the bill. In addition, determine the discount when signing the bill, do a good job in publicity, and ensure that the receivable amount is consistent with the paid-in amount, so as to ensure that the accounts are consistent with the facts. ;
