What is the cleanest way to match a Grubhub financial statement with the restaurant’s deposit?
How to reconcile a Grubhub payment to the bank
Start with the statement associated with the payment, separate marketplace, prepaid, cancelled, promotional, and adjustment activity, and calculate the net amount expected to be paid. Record the payment period and any available reference. Match that amount with a redacted bank transaction.
If one deposit combines stores or more than one statement, build a bridge listing every component. If the dates or amounts do not match, search adjacent processing dates and later adjustment periods before creating an exception. Preserve the difference rather than forcing it into a generic fee account.
