GST billing checklist for restaurants
GST Billing Checklist for Restaurants
Use this GST billing checklist before go-live and at month end so invoice fields, tax settings, and sales reports stay reviewable for your accountant.
Key Takeaways
- - Confirm tax settings with a qualified professional
- - Check sample invoices across dine-in and takeaway
- - Review discounts, voids, and cancellations regularly
- - Export the records your accountant actually asks for
Before You Take Live Payments
A GST billing checklist for restaurants should start with configuration. Wrong tax settings can affect every bill. Confirm rates and invoice fields with your accountant, then lock who can change them in the POS.
- - Business and invoice identity fields are complete
- - Tax rates match the agreed accounting setup
- - Menu prices and tax application are tested on sample bills
- - Only authorized roles can edit tax configuration
Daily and Monthly Review Checks
GST reporting for restaurants works better when managers review exceptions, not only totals. Walk discounts, cancellations, payment modes, and a few full invoices each day or week.
- - Spot-check dine-in, takeaway, and delivery invoices
- - Review discount and void reports
- - Reconcile payment modes with expected collections
- - Export sales records for accountant review on schedule
