Common Questions

Restaurants & Cafes Bookkeeping FAQ.

Yes. Restaurants & Cafes is one of our focus areas, and we serve Louisville and all of Jefferson County 100% remotely — clean monthly financials and Kentucky sales-tax and local occupational-tax-ready records.
Restaurants collect Kentucky's 6% sales tax on food and beverage sales, and — because they run on tipped, high-turnover payroll — the local occupational license tax withheld from every worker's wages is a constant. Each city and county sets its own rate and return. We reconcile your POS and keep sales tax and occupational withholding clean. On top of that, Kentucky has a flat state income tax (3.5% in 2026), and we keep your records ready for it.
We're a U.S. bookkeeping firm headquartered in Greenville, South Carolina, serving Louisville restaurants & cafes businesses entirely remotely — a dedicated bookkeeper who knows your industry and Kentucky's local occupational license taxes, without local overhead.
