Salpa Consulting Ltd handles the numbers behind the kitchen — bookkeeping built specifically for restaurants, bars, and cafes, based in Dartford, Kent and serving clients UK-wide — so you can focus on the food, not the spreadsheets.
From cash flow to compliance, pricing to planning — we make the numbers make sense, so you can grow with confidence.
We help you understand your cost of goods, wages, and what's really killing your margins.
Say goodbye to spreadsheet roulette – and hello to daily dashboards.
Rosters, payroll, award compliance? Handled.
Real-time insights across multiple venues, systems, and POS setups.
We check every invoice against your agreed supplier prices. If there's a price increase, we flag it immediately — if it's a pricing error, we request a credit note.
Ensuring you're compliant and lodged on time, knowledge in hand and smile on face.
Salpa Consulting is led by Dinesh Khatri, FCCA — an ACCA-qualified financial controller with over 15 years' experience in hospitality and property finance. Dinesh founded Salpa Consulting in October 2018 after several years as Portfolio Finance Manager at Opsyte, running the outsourced finance function for 8–12 London restaurants and nightclubs with a combined turnover of £25m and leading a team of 12 — before that, he was a Financial Accountant at Smart Move, managing finances across roughly 500 properties.
That hands-on, multi-site experience shapes how we work today: practical, detail-led bookkeeping built around how restaurants actually run — with the flexibility to meet clients on-site whenever it's useful, not just over email.
Cost depends on transaction volume, number of venues, and whether payroll is included. Most single-site restaurants, bars and cafes pay a fixed monthly fee rather than an hourly rate. Book a free consultation for a quote based on your setup.
Restaurant finances involve things generic bookkeepers often miss — tronc and tip allocation, food and labour cost percentages, multi-venue POS reconciliation, and supplier payment cycles. A specialist builds reports around those specifics instead of a generic chart of accounts.
Salpa Consulting is based in Dartford, Kent, but works with restaurants, bars and cafes all over the UK, with the flexibility to meet clients on-site as needed.
We work with the accounting and hospitality software restaurants already use, including Xero, Dext, Lightspeed, Square, Deputy, Planday, Dines, Polaris, Datamolino, Opsyte, SevenRooms and OpenTable.
