Zomato Reconciliation
Automating Financial Accuracy for Restaurant Partners
Partnering with Zomato allows restaurants to tap into a vast customer base and boost sales. However, managing financial reconciliation can be overwhelming. With multiple transactions, commissions, discounts, refunds, and payout delays, ensuring financial accuracy becomes a complex task. Many restaurant partners struggle to track their actual earnings due to deductions, missing payments, or disputes over refunds and commissions. Cointab’s automated reconciliation solution simplifies financial tracking, eliminates errors, and ensures complete financial transparency for Zomato sellers.
Challenges of Zomato Reconciliation
Zomato presents specific reconciliation challenges
High Volume of Transactions
Restaurants handle hundreds or thousands of orders daily, especially during peak hours and weekends. Manually verifying every transaction against Zomato’s payout statements is a tedious process that increases the risk of errors and revenue discrepancies.
Promotional Discounts and Adjustments
Zomato frequently runs platform-wide discounts, cashback offers, and marketing promotions that impact restaurant earnings. Ensuring that these deductions are correctly applied and fairly split between Zomato and the restaurant is critical for financial accuracy.
Returns, Refunds, and Chargebacks
Zomato processes instant refunds and cancellations, often deducting the refunded amount from restaurant payouts. Tracking whether these deductions are valid and justified is crucial to prevent unnecessary revenue loss.
Complex Commission and Fee Structures
Zomato charges restaurants various fees, including platform commissions, delivery fees, packaging costs, and promotional deductions. These fees vary based on order value, restaurant agreements, and promotional participation, making manual reconciliation time-consuming and prone to errors.
Payout Timing and Settlement Delays
Zomato follows a structured payout cycle, but payment delays, deductions, or incorrect settlements can create cash flow issues for restaurants. Without an automated reconciliation system, identifying these discrepancies is difficult.
