Dext + Restaurants & Hospitality: Faster Bank Import
Restaurants process hundreds of card transactions daily, plus supplier payments. Reconciling bank statements with POS data is a major headache. If you use Dext for your accounting, you need a fast way to get bank statement data into the system.
BankScan AI for Restaurants & Hospitality Using Dext
BankScan AI converts any bank statement PDF to CSV formatted for direct import into Dext. Upload your restaurant bank statements and get clean spreadsheets to reconcile against your POS system, suppliers, and HMRC VAT returns.
The Restaurants & Hospitality + Dext Workflow
Restaurant owners or their bookkeepers reconcile daily card terminal settlements against POS end-of-day reports, match supplier invoice payments, track staff wages and tips, and prepare weekly or monthly cash flow summaries. VAT returns require splitting transactions between standard-rated food sales, zero-rated takeaway, and exempt items.
Key terms you'll encounter: POS reconciliation, card terminal settlement, tronc scheme, wet sales.
