In the restaurant sector, collaboration with delivery platforms such as Uber Eats has become essential to expand your customer base and increase your turnover.
However, this expansion comes with specific accounting and financial challenges. Good news : the French accounting solution Pennylane integrates with Uber Eats to offer an effective solution able to simplify these processes and optimize French restaurant owners’ financial management.
The benefits of Pennylane + Uber Eats for French restaurateurs
Automation of accounting entries
The integration between Pennylane and Uber Eats allows for complete automation of accounting entries related to transactions made through the delivery platform. Each week, Pennylane automatically recovers the turnover made on Uber Eats, deducting commissions, advertising costs and other associated expenses.
This automation eliminates tedious manual tasks and reduces the risk of human errors.
Simplified access to net turnover
With this integration, French restaurateurs can easily access their weekly net sales without having to perform complex calculations.
Pennylane provides clear visibility into net revenue after Uber Eats fees, making it easier to track finances and make informed decisions.
Centralized management of financial data
By centralizing financial data from Uber Eats within Pennylane, French restaurateurs benefit from a coherent overview of their business.
This centralization facilitates cash flow management, performance analysis and tax preparation.
Accounting specificities and financial issues related to delivery services
VAT, service fees, refunds... working with delivery services, such as Uber Eats or Deliveroo, introduces accounting specificities that French restaurateurs must be able to manage efficiently and end-to-end.
Multiplicity of French VAT rates
In France, restaurants must apply different VAT rates depending on the products sold:
20% : Alcoholic beverages.
10% : Products consumed immediately on site or to take away
5.5% : Preservable takeaway products.
This diversity requires rigorous management to ensure tax compliance.
Management of commissions and service fees
Delivery platforms charge commissions and service fees on each transaction. Here too, it is essential to correctly account for these charges to accurately reflect the profitability of sales made through these channels.
Cancellation and Refund Tracking
Finally, cancelled or refunded orders can also complicate accounting if they are not recorded correctly. Effective integration will allow you to track these transactions and adjust accounting entries accordingly.
