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 %
