What Is Hospitality Sector Accounting?

Definition: Specialised financial management of revenue from rooms, F&B, banquets, events, food cost and inventory control, tip and service charge accounting, shift-based payroll, and regulatory compliance.

Delhi GST complexity: Standalone restaurants: 5% without ITC. Restaurants in hotels with room tariff ≥Rs 7,500: 18% with ITC. Same restaurant, different hotel tariff = different GST rate and ITC treatment.

Key terms: RevPAR (revenue per available room), Food Cost % (target 28-35%), Service Charge (not GST, separate income), ITC (available at 18% only).

See Accounting Services for general business accounting.

Key Terms for Hospitality Accounting Services in Delhi:

RevPAR: Total room revenue ÷ available rooms. Critical metric for Aerocity and Chanakyapuri hotels.

Food Cost %: Food costs ÷ food sales. Target 28-35%. Daily tracking prevents margin erosion.

Service Charge: Discretionary 5-10% added by restaurants. Not GST. Separate income. Must be accounted separately.

OTA Commission: Commissions deducted by MakeMyTrip, Booking.com, OYO at source. TCS collected. Reconciliation needed.

Delhi Excise: Separate liquor purchase/sales/stock/breakage records. Annual licence renewal. Non-compliance = closure.

Common Hospitality Accounting Challenges in Delhi

ServiceWhat We Do
GST Rate Confusion (5% vs 18%)Hotel room tariff ≥Rs 7,500: restaurant at 18% with ITC. Below: 5% no ITC. Seasonal rate fluctuations in Aerocity complicate classification
High Cash Volume + Revenue LeakageBudget hotels (Karol Bagh, Paharganj) and street food (Chandni Chowk). Without POS-integrated accounting, leakage undetected. S.44AB threshold Rs 1Cr
Food Cost VolatilityAzadpur Mandi wholesale prices swing 20-40% weekly. Without daily tracking, CP restaurant margins erode from 30% to 45% food cost in one month
Multi-Licence Compliance (6-8 licences)FSSAI + GST + MCD + Excise + Fire + S&E + Police Eating House + DPCC. Missing one renewal = closure or penalty
OTA/Aggregator ReconciliationMakeMyTrip, Booking.com, Swiggy, Zomato. Commissions deducted, TCS collected, varying settlement cycles. 200+ bookings/month need systematic matching
