Why We Built SalesToBooks
The story behind SalesToBooks — why we built a $10/mo tool to automate restaurant bookkeeping, and what makes us different from the competition.
Founder & CEO
The Problem We Kept Seeing
Every restaurant owner we talked to had the same complaint: "I spend hours every week typing sales numbers into QuickBooks." Some hired bookkeepers at $300-800/month just for data entry. Others just... didn't do it, and scrambled at tax time.
Why Existing Solutions Weren't Good Enough
Commerce Sync charges $25-50/month and only supports a few POS systems. Most restaurant owners we talked to didn't even know it existed. And manual entry? It's not just slow — it's error-prone. One mistyped number cascades into weeks of reconciliation headaches.
What We Built
SalesToBooks connects your POS to your accounting software and syncs daily sales automatically. Every morning, yesterday's sales appear in your books — categorized, reconciled, and ready for your accountant.
We support Clover, Square, and Toast on the POS side, and QuickBooks Online, Xero, and FreshBooks on the accounting side. More coming soon.
Why $10/month?
We believe restaurant bookkeeping automation should be accessible to every restaurant, not just chains with big budgets. At $10/month per location, SalesToBooks pays for itself in the first hour of saved time.
Our Support Model
This is where we're genuinely different. Most SaaS companies have support agents reading from scripts. We have developers who built the product monitoring your syncs. If something breaks, we fix it proactively — often before you notice. That's not a marketing promise; it's how we actually operate.
What's Next
We're adding Lightspeed support, delivery payout sync for DoorDash and Uber Eats, and payroll integration with Gusto. Our goal is to make SalesToBooks the single connection between your restaurant's operations and your books.
