Orders & gross sales
Order-level sales and platform summaries establish the starting transaction base.
Restaurant Money Recovery
Delivery-platform sales and bank deposits should reconcile.
SteeleCoast compares platform orders, commissions, fees, refunds, adjustments, processor activity and actual deposits to determine whether the records line up. We do not assume money is missing; we prove or disprove the mismatch from source data.
What we reconcile.
The useful question is not “did fees feel high?” It is whether the platform and processor records explain every expected dollar.
Fees & adjustments
Commissions, delivery fees, refunds, promotions, chargebacks and other adjustments are categorized and tied to source records.
Deposits
Expected net payouts are compared with processor and bank deposit activity for the same periods.
Good first-pass cases.
Multi-platform complexity
DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub or other channels create overlapping reports that nobody has reconciled end to end.
Payout confusion
Deposits vary and management cannot easily tie a bank amount to the underlying orders and adjustments.
Fee drift
Commission, marketing or promotion charges are hard to match to the agreement or underlying transactions.
SteeleCoast provides evidence-based reconciliation support, not tax or accounting advice. Accounting treatment and tax conclusions stay with the restaurant's accountant or other qualified professional.
Free first-pass evidence check
Start with one month of payouts.
No recovery promise. We first determine whether the records support further work.
