Issues for Restaurant and Leisure Businesses

  • The cash nature of the industry and the volume of transactions means record keeping is hard work.
  • Increased risk of fraud, so the need for tight budgeting, management accounts and planning is essential.
  • The complex nature of demand, trends, supply chains and costs
  • Cash flow problems are common
  • HMRC keeps a close watch on businesses in the industry
  • Employment law issues – compliance, staff problems and high staff turnover can be problematic, as can payroll when you have staff on flexible employment terms such as zero-hour contracts or contractors
  • Strong need for a clear and compelling business plan
