Bookkeep’s Toast integration delivers the most complete and accurate accounting automation for restaurants using Toast. With support for location-level connections and deep financial detail, this is the only solution you need to keep your books clean, compliant, and reconciled.

> ⚠️ **Requirement:** You must have the **Toast Restaurant Management Suite** enabled in your Toast account to use this integration.

## Location-Based Connections  
Each **Toast location** connects separately to Bookkeep:

- Provides precise, location-level reporting.
- Allows unique mappings for sales, payments, and taxes by location.
- Enables consolidated reporting across multiple restaurants while keeping transactions separate.

## Key Capabilities  
Bookkeep’s Toast integration gives you powerful accounting detail and automation, including:

- **Sales rollup by item name or menu category**  
→ Track exactly which items or categories drive revenue.
- **Payments broken down by tender type**  
→ See cash, credit card, gift card, and other tenders clearly separated in your accounting system.
- **Automatic capture of payment processing fees**  
→ Track Toast payment fees for a true profitability picture.
- **Jurisdiction-level sales tax labels**  
→ Improve compliance with jurisdiction-based labeling.
- **Import of historical data**  
→ Backfill sales and tax records for prior dates to eliminate gaps.
- **Capture of sales tax withheld**  
→ Automatically posts withheld tax if a third party marketplace remits on your behalf.

## Daily Sales Summary Journal Entry  
Bookkeep posts a **daily summary journal entry** per Toast location that:

- Captures gross sales, net sales, discounts, refunds, and adjustments.
- Breaks down payments by tender type (cash, card, gift card, etc.).
- Includes processing fees, sales tax, and withheld tax.

## Benefits for Your Accounting  
- **Complete visibility** — Itemized sales and tender-type breakdowns improve insights.
- **Compliance-ready** — Jurisdiction-level tax detail and withheld tax capture support filings.
- **Accurate reconciliation** — Location-specific connections and captured fees simplify deposit matching.
- **Gap-free records** — Historical imports ensure complete records, even if you connect mid-year.
