Back Office review
Restaurant finance tools connect POS, accounting, food costs, and multi-unit reporting.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Back Office brings restaurant accounting and operational finance together for independent operators, multi-concept groups, and franchises. Its features span accounts payable, bank reconciliation, weekly financial reporting, POS data synchronization, food-cost tracking, inventory, payroll, and analytics. That breadth makes it relevant to operators who need financial information connected to restaurant activity, especially groups comparing performance across locations. It is a narrower fit for buyers seeking a general-purpose accounting product rather than restaurant-specific workflows.
The platform combines POS, banking, and HR data with financial reporting, and lists 75 integrations. POS connections include Toast, Aloha, Clover, Square, Lightspeed, Heartland, Micros, Revel, PAR Brink POS, SICOM, GoTab, and HungerRush; banking systems and HRIS platforms are also included. Accounting features cover weekly P&L, balance sheet, trial balance, and cash-flow reports, general ledger coding and export, and cash reconciliation. Inventory and food-cost tools extend the scope to recipe costing and COGS tracking. This operational breadth suits teams that want finance, purchasing, and food-cost information in one restaurant-focused system.
The plan structure separates single-unit and multi-unit reporting, accounting and food-cost services, and payroll. Single-Unit includes invoice capture, centralized ordering, budgeting, POS integrations, and inventory management; Multi-Unit adds multi-unit reporting and advanced recipe costing. Growth includes a general ledger, cash management and reconciliation, automated accounts payable, and food-cost management, while Professional and Elite add audits, breakeven analysis, and goal-setting services. Payroll covers multi-unit payroll, tip reporting, tax filing, attendance, and online W-2 generation. Accounting, food-cost, and bookkeeping packages require a quote. Payroll has an employee-based fee component, so buyers should confirm the full payroll cost. Guided onboarding and specialist support are offered through phone, chat, and tickets, but support is not available around the clock. Choose Back Office for connected restaurant finance across locations; consider alternatives if your needs are limited to basic bookkeeping or require 24/7 support.
