See the numbers behind every stay and sale. Keep hospitality and accounting connected.

Hospitality businesses generate financial activity throughout the day. Guests make bookings, restaurant customers pay at the till, suppliers deliver stock and operating expenses are incurred across the business.

Bapple connects these operational processes with accounting so your financial team works with information created by the business instead of repeatedly rebuilding it from separate systems, spreadsheets and reports.

REVIEW

Turn daily hospitality activity into better financial records.

Accounting should not be disconnected from the operation that creates the numbers. Connect sales, customer accounts, suppliers, expenses, payments and inventory with the financial processes used to manage the business.

01

Sales Accounting

Connect restaurant, accommodation and other hospitality sales with the financial records of the business, reducing the need to manually recreate operational turnover in accounting.

Sales → accounting
02

Customer Accounts

Keep customer transactions, invoices, payments and outstanding balances connected to the customer record so finance and operations have better visibility.

Customer visibility
03

Supplier Bills

Bring purchasing and supplier expenses into the accounting process so the costs supporting your hospitality operation are maintained in a structured financial record.

Purchasing → finance
04

Bank Reconciliation

Bring bank activity into the financial workflow and match transactions against the underlying customer, supplier and accounting records of the business.

Bank → books
05

Tax Records

Maintain sales, purchases and supporting accounting information in a structured financial environment, providing a stronger foundation for the business's tax administration and reporting.

Structured records
06

Financial Reporting

Give management access to financial information built from the same operational transactions used throughout the business instead of waiting for separate reports to be reconstructed.

Management visibility

From daily transaction to financial reporting.

The strongest accounting record starts where the transaction happens. Capture the operational activity, connect it to the financial process, reconcile the movement of money and use the resulting information to understand the business.

Review

Use financial reports and management information to understand performance and support better decisions.

Connect the till to the books.

Restaurant sales should not need to be manually reconstructed in accounting at the end of every day. The transaction already exists because your team captured it while serving the customer.

A connected ERP allows the financial process to use the information created by your point of sale, giving the business a clearer relationship between operational sales and accounting.

This reduces duplicate capturing and creates a stronger foundation for reconciliation and financial reporting.

One financial picture across the business.

Hospitality businesses can generate revenue through several channels. A hotel may have accommodation, restaurant, bar and other guest-related transactions operating alongside supplier purchases and normal business expenses.

When these activities are managed through separate systems, management can struggle to see the complete financial picture without first combining multiple reports.

Connecting operational and accounting information gives the business a stronger foundation for understanding overall performance.

Capture the transaction once. Let the information keep working.

A sale, purchase or payment should not become another spreadsheet entry that someone needs to recreate later. Connect operational transactions with accounting so the information captured by the business remains useful throughout the financial process.

Reporting

See more than money in the bank.

A bank balance tells you how much cash is available. It does not explain the full financial performance of the business. Connected accounting gives management a broader view of income, costs, outstanding transactions and overall results.

Revenue Visibility

Bring sales information into the wider financial picture so management can understand the revenue being generated through hospitality operations.

Cost Visibility

Connect supplier bills and operating expenses with the financial record so management has better visibility over the costs behind the business.

Current Information

Reduce the delay between operational activity and financial reporting by allowing accounting information to develop as transactions take place.

Make reconciliation part of the process.

Hospitality businesses can process a high volume of transactions across different payment methods, customers and suppliers.

Bank reconciliation provides an important control point between what the business recorded and the money that actually moved through its bank accounts.

Keeping the underlying sales, invoices, bills and payments in the same financial environment gives the accounting team better information when reviewing and reconciling transactions.

THE OBJECTIVE
