clickBACON Integration Features

clickBACON helps independent restaurant operators improve profitability and financial control by simplifying how they track and manage their food cost, labor, and prime cost—the key drivers of restaurant success.

The platform connects directly to POS systems and QuickBooks, automatically importing and organizing financial data into clear, actionable dashboards. Operators can easily:

• Monitor food and labor costs in real time
• Compare actual performance vs. budget
• Track sales trends and category-level margins
• Identify issues like unpaid orders, missing invoices, or overstaffing
• Get weekly summaries with metrics they can act on by Tuesday morning

clickBACON also offers BACONBooks, a full-service bookkeeping solution built specifically for restaurants. Backed by our partner network of bookkeepers who manage books for over 300 restaurants, BACONBooks ensures accurate, timely financials synced directly into the clickBACON dashboard.

Together, clickBACON and BACONBooks help restaurant operators ditch the spreadsheets and gain visibility into their business—so they can make confident, data-driven decisions without needing to be accountants.

Key Features:

clickBACON offers a seamless, intelligent connection between POS systems like Toast and QuickBooks Online, built for both DIY restaurant operators and professional bookkeeping firms.

1. Faster, Smarter QuickBooks Syncing: clickBACON automates daily sales, labor, and payment data flow into QuickBooks, eliminating manual entry and ensuring up-to-date financials. It maps POS data directly to your custom chart of accounts, ensuring accurate Cost of Goods Sold (CoGs).
2. AI-Powered Menu Categorization: Our AI detects and auto-assigns uncategorized menu items to correct sales categories (e.g., Food, Alcohol) in real-time. This prevents errors that typically affect CoGs reports, especially when menus frequently change.
3. Streamlined Month-End POS Reconciliation: For bookkeepers, clickBACON delivers clean, summarized daily sales data, enabling them to instantly spot variances and missing days. This cuts reconciliation time by over 50%, leading to faster, more accurate book closing.
4. Built for Scale: Whether you're a single-shop operator or a firm with 50 clients, clickBACON provides a simple dashboard for better food and labor cost decisions for operators, batch tools, cross-client views, and role-based access for bookkeepers.

Note: clickBACON currently does not support French Canadian. Additionally, their bookkeeping services are not offered in the UK or Ireland.
