Third-Party Delivery Reconciliation for Restaurants

The Hidden Leak in Your Delivery Revenue

For independent restaurants, third-party delivery apps are essential for reach, but they are notoriously difficult to track. The discrepancy between what your Point of Sale (POS) shows and what the delivery platform actually deposits is rarely a rounding error. It is a structural leak in your accounting.

When orders are modified by customers, cancelled, or refunded after pickup, the delivery platforms often adjust their payouts weeks later. Without an automated reconciliation process, you are left guessing whether you lost money on a specific night or if the platform underpaid your invoice. Manual spreadsheet matching is impossible to scale during a dinner rush.

Automating the Audit Trail

Automation solves this by creating a continuous audit trail between your kitchen and the bank. By integrating your delivery feeds with your internal sales data, the system flags mismatches in real time rather than at the end of the quarter.

This capability is part of the comprehensive AI infrastructure we build for restaurants. It allows you to see exactly which orders were short-paid due to platform fees, customer cancellations, or driver errors.

What the Automation Handles

• Fee Verification: Automatically verifies that commission fees match the contract terms for each order.
• Refund Matching: Flags refunds processed by the app against your POS sales to ensure you aren't paying commissions on cancelled food.
• Payout Alerts: Sends a plain-English alert when a weekly deposit does not match the calculated sum of your orders.

Reclaim Your Margins

Delivery reconciliation is not just about accounting; it is about protecting your profit margins. Every hour your staff spends manually auditing PDFs is an hour not spent on food quality or guest experience.
