Q1. What coffee shop franchise brands does SAS work with?
We currently work with Biggby Coffee and Aroma Joe’s owners, as well as independent café operators. Our experience covers the financial reporting, royalty structures, and compliance requirements that vary across different coffee franchise systems.
Q2. How does SAS track food and supply costs for a coffee shop?
We set up your chart of accounts to separate beverage costs, food costs, packaging, and supplies so your cost of goods sold is accurate by category. This gives you a clear view of where margin is being lost and makes it easier to benchmark against franchisor targets.
Q3.How does SAS handle tip accounting for coffee shop employees?
We ensure tips are correctly recorded, withholding is handled accurately for tipped employees, and tip income is separated from service revenue in your financial reports, keeping your books and payroll tax filings accurate.
Q4. Can SAS integrate with Toast, Square, or other coffee shop POS systems?
Yes. We reconcile transaction data from Toast, Square, and other common coffee shop POS platforms into your accounting system, so daily sales, voids, discounts, and tender types are all categorised correctly without manual data entry.
Q5. What does it cost to work with SAS for my coffee shop?
Fees vary based on the number of locations, transaction volume, and services required. The best way to get a clear picture is to book an introductory call, we will review your setup and give you a straightforward fee estimate with no obligation.
