Accounting for Cafés & Coffee Shops UAE
Speciality coffee has thin margins and expensive stock. Bean variances and bakery wastage are where the profit quietly leaves.
What usually goes wrong
- Bean stock counted in bags, costed in guesses
- Bakery supply from a related party never reconciled
- Dine-in and delivery margins blended into one number
- Roastery and retail bag sales mixed with beverage sales
What we do about it
- Coffee bean stock reconciled by origin and batch, with variances quantified
- Bakery and pastry supplier statements agreed monthly
- Beverage, food and retail bag revenue separated with individual margins
- Delivery platform settlements reconciled to the bank
- Director and related-party transactions tracked and documented
Metrics we report monthly
Beverage cost %, food cost %, stock variance, labour %, net margin %
