ABC Consulting works with clients, on a daily basis, that become filled with dread as they haven\u2019t been able to keep up with record keeping or training their employees.&nbsp; ABC Consulting is a team of subject-knowledge experts who are true professionals, well versed in the ins and outs of VA ABC Authorities. We offer a complete line of education and consulting services and with years of experience in the business and as the CEO of ABC Consulting, I continue to gain skills, experiences and connections that help me to understand and explain how vitally important record keeping is. This article will give you the highlights. Keep your Point of Sale (POS), cash register, sales ledgers \u2013 broken down into daily, weekly, and monthly reports. Every sales ticket (to include cash sales and buffet tickets), must be kept and attached to your daily report. &nbsp;Each report should indicate the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sales<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Entrees (items with sides, buffet, or\nsubstantial meals such as spaghetti) <\/li><li>Other Food (appetizers, side items, desserts) <\/li><li>Non-Alcoholic Beverages (soda, tea, coffee etc.)\n<\/li><li>Wine &amp; Beer (this is the only category that\ncan be combined)<\/li><li>Mixed Beverages (this include liquor, shots,\nmixed drinks, and mixers)<\/li><li>To Go (these items cannot count towards your\nminimum sale requirement or ratio.)<\/li><li>Miscellaneous (hookah, tobacco, calendars,\nshirts, etc)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Purchases<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Food and Non-Alcoholic Beverages<\/li><li>Wine &amp; Beer<\/li><li>Mixed Beverages<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Miscellaneous<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sales\ntotal must be less sales tax and not include Discounts\/Comps.
