MYOB for Hospitality Business
What Is MYOB for Hospitality Business Accounting?
MYOB for hospitality business accounting means running your venue books in MYOB Business, AccountRight or MYOB Advanced, with jobs and tracking categories for daily sales, food and beverage costs, labour and delivery payouts. Cred Books sets it up and manages it, so each venue gets its own weekly and monthly profit and loss report.
Since 2011, Cred Books has paired restaurants, boutique hotels, bars, caterers, resorts, entertainment venues and food and beverage operators across Australia and New Zealand with an MYOB Certified Partner and a dedicated MYOB certified accountant. Need another sector? We can also outsource MYOB accounting services.
Sales posted in bulk, delivery payouts that never match, food costs nobody can see: that's how venue ledgers break. When you outsource hospitality accounting services to Cred Books, we fix it at the source.
How MYOB Handles Daily Sales, Food Costs and Delivery Payouts
MYOB records daily sales summaries, merchant fees, delivery payouts and tip pools in separate clearing accounts and tags each transaction to a venue using jobs and categories. Every location gets a clean prime cost view, and net bank deposits always reconcile to gross sales.
For restaurant accounting and restaurant bookkeeping, we configure jobs, custom fields, tracking tags and general ledger rules. It's the venue bookkeeping that a point of sale system alone doesn't cover.
What our MYOB setup includes:
- Jobs, custom fields and tracking categories for venue level reporting
- Daily revenue clearing for cards, cash and delivery platforms
- Weekly prime cost and food and beverage cost reports
- BAS lodgement and GST reconciled across each venue entity
- Tip pool and owner draw statements from reconciled ledgers
We connect MYOB with Toast, Square, Lightspeed, Clover, Kounta, Deputy, Tanda and 7shifts, so daily sales postings, invoice approvals, staff expenses, payroll and owner draws run through one workflow.
Our MYOB Services for Hospitality Businesses and Venues
Every service below is handled inside your own MYOB file. A dedicated MYOB certified accountant does the daily work and your MYOB Certified Partner reviews the setup, so venue bookkeeping, supplier workflows and weekly reporting packets stay accurate.
Venue Level Profit and Loss
Jobs, custom fields and ledger rules tag every sale and cost line to a venue and department. You get a profit and loss report per location and a consolidated group view.
Bank and Merchant Reconciliation
Card settlements, cash banking and merchant fees are matched to daily takings. This work sits within our Outsource Account Reconciliation Services for Hospitality Businesses.
Daily POS Posting and Clearing
Register summaries post to clearing accounts, then net bank deposits are matched against gross sales, so merchant fees and refunds never hide inside revenue.
Food Cost and Supplier Payables
Kitchen supply purchases, menu item margins and beverage waste are tracked, and supplier bills are matched to orders so prime cost is visible every week.
BAS, GST and Tax Workpapers
We prepare BAS lodgement and GST reconciliations, plus audit proof workpapers your tax agent can use straight away. Need a full return? We offer Hospitality Tax Return Filing Services too.
Delivery Platform Reconciliation
UberEats, DoorDash and Menulog payouts are split into sales, commission and fees. Tip pool distributions and promotional discounts are recorded with the right accounts.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is MYOB for hospitality business accounting?
MYOB for hospitality business accounting means using MYOB as the main financial ledger for a restaurant, bar, hotel or catering operation. Cred Books builds the chart of accounts, jobs and tracking categories, then manages daily sales postings, supplier bills, BAS lodgement and owner draws so each venue has its own reliable weekly and monthly report.
How does MYOB handle UberEats, DoorDash and Menulog payouts?
We create clearing accounts for each delivery platform, record gross sales, commission and fees separately and match the net payout to the bank deposit. That gives clear margin by channel and keeps platform fees out of revenue, so reports show what each channel really earns.
Which MYOB product suits a restaurant or hotel?
MYOB Business works for a single cafe or small venue. MYOB AccountRight suits operators who need jobs and detailed tracking by venue. MYOB Advanced fits larger groups with several entities and complex reporting. Cred Books manages all three and can advise on the right fit during onboarding.
Does MYOB connect with point of sale and rostering software?
Yes. MYOB connects with Toast, Square, Lightspeed, Clover, Kounta, Deputy, Tanda and 7shifts through integrations or structured journal imports. Daily sales postings, rosters and supplier bills then reach the ledger without double entry, although the exact method depends on the platform and your MYOB product. We also use MYOB PayDirect and MYOB Expense tools for staff petty cash, kitchen purchasing and supplier bill reconciliations.
How does BAS lodgement work for a hospitality business?
We reconcile GST on sales and expenses each period, check the figures against your ledger, prepare the Business Activity Statement and lodge it before the due date. Tips, delivery commissions and merchant fees are treated differently, so we set up tax codes by transaction type.
What is prime cost and how does Cred Books report it?
Prime cost is food and beverage cost of goods sold plus labour cost, shown as a share of sales. We build it each week from supplier bills, shift labour and daily takings, together with menu engineering analysis, beverage waste auditing and budget variance reporting, so managers can act before margins slip.
How are seasonal cash flow and liquor licence costs managed?
We set up real time cash flow monitoring, track liquor licence fees, promotional discounts and supplier payables, and prepare seasonal cash flow projections. Daily revenue clearing and automated vendor invoice matching give venue managers steady cash visibility through quiet and busy periods.
What is an MYOB Certified Partner?
An MYOB Certified Partner is an accounting firm or professional recognised for its training and experience with MYOB products. At Cred Books, every hospitality business client gets an experienced MYOB Certified Partner, plus a dedicated MYOB certified accountant who handles the daily work.
How much can outsourcing MYOB accounting save a hospitality business?
Cred Books clients typically reduce back office accounting costs by 40% to 60% compared with running the same work in house. The saving comes from skipping salaries, benefits, software training and recruitment, while still getting certified accountants and a monthly review of every file.
How long does it take to move a hospitality business to MYOB?
Most MYOB onboarding handled by Cred Books takes between 3 and 7 business days. The timeline depends on how much history you bring across, the number of locations or entities, and how clean your existing records are.
Is MYOB or Xero better for a hospitality business?
Both platforms handle venue accounting well. MYOB is built around Australian and New Zealand compliance, including BAS, GST and Single Touch Payroll, and it offers jobs for venue level tracking. Xero is popular for its bank feeds and app marketplace. Cred Books manages both, so the choice depends on your entities, advisers and reporting needs.
Why choose Cred Books for MYOB for Hospitality Business?
Cred Books has run outsourced accounting since 2011, with more than 100 in house certified accountants and over 1,000 clients worldwide. You get a named MYOB Certified Partner, an MYOB certified accountant, a monthly senior review and hospitality business specific checklists rather than a generic bookkeeping service.
