The Friday Routine That Keeps Restaurant Finance on Track

Every strong restaurant runs on rhythm — not just in service, but in finance. The difference between chaotic books and calm control often comes down to one simple habit: a Friday routine. Just 20 minutes each week can keep costs, cash flow, and clarity in perfect shape, without adding admin.

Here’s the Friday finance flow that top-performing F&B owners in Singapore use — and how ccMonet automates most of it behind the scenes.

1. Start With a Cash Snapshot

Your week starts and ends with cash.
Before diving into reports, open your ccMonet Dashboard to check:

• Current cash balance across all bank accounts.
• Pending collections from delivery platforms.
• Upcoming supplier payments or rent.

Because AI Bank Reconciliation runs daily, you’re not reviewing outdated balances — everything reflects real-time data. You know exactly how much cash is ready for next week’s orders.

2. Review the Week’s Margins

Sales volume is exciting, but profitability pays the bills.
Under AI Insights, review:

• COGS % (Cost of Goods Sold) — Did it rise or fall versus last week?
• Labour and overhead ratios — Are staffing costs staying consistent?
• Daily profit trend — Any unusual dips or spikes?

If margins shift, you’ll know whether it’s price changes, wastage, or promotions — and can correct quickly before the next cycle.

3. Check Outstanding Supplier Bills

Unpaid invoices pile up fast in F&B, especially when multiple managers handle procurement.
Every Friday, open your Bills Overview to see:

• Which suppliers still have pending payments.
• Any duplicate or missing invoices flagged by AI.
• Bills due next week, so you can plan payments in advance.

A short weekly check avoids end-of-month pressure and strengthens supplier trust.

4. Verify Collections and Refunds

For restaurants handling high delivery volume through Grab, Foodpanda, or ShopeeFood, payout delays can quietly distort your books.
ccMonet automatically matches payouts against your order reports and flags:

• Missing or partial payments
• Refunds not yet reflected
• Platform commissions that changed from previous weeks

That way, your weekly revenue always represents what’s actually received — not what’s promised.

5. Approve and Close the Week

End your review with quick approvals:

• Expense claims uploaded by staff.
• Supplier invoices awaiting confirmation.
• Any flagged mismatches or missing receipts.

Once done, export a weekly summary PDF or share access with your accountant — no spreadsheets, no manual notes.

6. The 20-Minute Habit That Changes Everything

This short Friday ritual builds financial rhythm:

• Daily automation keeps books clean.
• Weekly review keeps control sharp.
• Monthly reporting becomes effortless because everything’s already verified.

It’s not accounting — it’s awareness.
