What should a restaurant close every month for DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub, and catering marketplaces?

A month-end close checklist for third-party delivery

Close and accountingField guide 37 of 52

A reliable close begins with completeness: every active store and marketplace, every finalized statement or payout, and every bank account. Recalculate statement math, match payouts to deposits, roll cross-month timing items, classify fees and promotions, trace material refunds or adjustments, and separate marketplace-remitted taxes and tips.

Finish with an exception register showing amount, evidence status, owner, due date, and resolution. The close is not complete because the net number was posted. It is complete when the team can explain the money path and identify what remains open without burying the difference.
