Garde generates the journal entries. You review them and push to QuickBooks. No more month-end spreadsheet marathons. Works with QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Desktop.

​
Connect it

  1. In the dashboard, go to Accounting → Integrations.
  2. Connect QuickBooks and sign in with your QuickBooks admin account.
  3. Your chart of accounts loads into Garde for mapping.

​
Map accounts once

Do this before your first export. It’s the setup that makes everything after automatic.
  • Sales mapping: map sales sources and payment types to QuickBooks accounts.
  • Category accounts mapping: map inventory categories (produce, protein, paper) to COGS accounts.
  • Invoice and bill accounts: set the default accounts for vendor invoices and bills.
  • Delivery mapping: map DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub, and ezCater to their accounts.
Mappings live under Accounting → Setup in the dashboard.

​
What flows over

  • Sales journals: daily sales, taxes, tips, and payments as journal entries. Review under Accounting → Sales Journals, then export.
  • Inventory journals: COGS entries generated from your counts. Review under Accounting → Inventory Journals.
  • Delivery deposits: upload platform statements under Accounting → Delivery Deposits and sync the payouts, fees, and commissions to QuickBooks.

​
The rhythm that works

  • Daily: sales journals go over automatically once mapped.
  • Weekly: upload delivery statements as they arrive.
  • After each count: review and export the inventory journal.
Do this and month-end close is days, not weeks.

​
When an export fails

  • Nine times out of ten it’s an unmapped account. Check Accounting → Setup for anything unmapped.
  • Renamed or deleted an account in QuickBooks? Re-map it in Garde.
