Dext + Pubs & Bars: Faster Bank Import
Pubs process high volumes of card and cash transactions, brewery payments, and entertainment costs — making daily bank reconciliation essential. If you use Dext for your accounting, you need a fast way to get bank statement data into the system.
BankScan AI for Pubs & Bars Using Dext
BankScan AI converts any bank statement PDF to CSV formatted for direct import into Dext. Convert your pub bank statements to Excel to reconcile daily takings, match brewery and supplier invoices, and prepare VAT returns accurately.
The Pubs & Bars + Dext Workflow
Pub owners reconcile daily card terminal settlements and cash banking against till Z-readings, match brewery and drinks supplier invoices against bank debits, track entertainment and licensing costs, and prepare weekly cash flow summaries. Staff tip handling through the tronc system adds another layer of bank transaction complexity.
Key terms you'll encounter: Z-reading, wet sales, dry sales, cellar management.
