Restaurants collect Louisiana's nation-topping combined sales tax on prepared food and drinks — 5% state plus parish and city, often above 10% — and in tourism areas like the French Quarter, extra hospitality-district taxes apply. We reconcile your POS and keep sales tax and tip payroll clean. On top of that, sales tax is collected parish by parish, one of the most complex systems in the country, and we keep your records ready for it.
