Hi there, Is there anyway I can input sales from a restaurant to reflect properly on the profit and loss % report other than a journal report?

Hi there,

You've reached the right place for help. I'll be happy to give you a hand with this. 

Based on what you've described, you'll need to record your daily sales in QuickBooks Online using a single sales receipt. 

You can enter a single sales receipt to report the total daily sales in QuickBooks if you use a separate Point of Sale system. Or if you simply don't invoice customers. This saves you time, while still keeping your income reports accurate.

Here's a step-by-step guide to help you get you started.

Step 1: Create a customer for daily sales

You'll only use this customer account on your "end of day" sales receipt.

1.     From the left menu, select Sales, then Customers.
2.     Select New customer.
3.     Enter "Daily Sales."
4.     Select Save.
