Food Delivery Settlement vs Bank Reconciliation
Reconcile food delivery platform settlement reports with bank statements to match platform payouts, settlement IDs, UTRs, commissions, delivery fees, refunds, cancellations, deductions, taxes, reversals, and actual bank credits in one structured workflow.
View demo reportReconcile food delivery platform settlements with actual bank credits
Food delivery platforms report settlements after commissions, platform fees, delivery charges, discounts, refunds, cancellations, deductions, taxes, and other adjustments. Finance teams still need to verify whether the expected payout was actually received in the bank.
The Food Delivery Settlement vs Bank Reconciliation template helps restaurants, QSR chains, cloud kitchens, food brands, franchise operators, finance teams, treasury teams, and accounting teams compare food delivery platform settlement reports with bank statements.
This helps teams answer questions such as:
- Which food delivery platform settlements were received in the bank?
- Which settlement payouts are missing from the bank statement?
- Which bank credits do not have matching platform settlement records?
- Which payouts were short-settled, over-settled, delayed, reversed, split, or adjusted?
- Which UTRs, settlement IDs, payout dates, and bank references match correctly?
- Which commissions, delivery fees, platform fees, advertising fees, discounts, refunds, cancellations, penalties, and taxes explain the payout difference?
- Which Swiggy, Zomato, DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub, or other delivery platform settlements require follow-up?
- Which items need finance review, platform follow-up, bank follow-up, accounting correction, or internal approval?
This template is useful for restaurants, QSR chains, cloud kitchens, cafés, food brands, franchise operators, food delivery sellers, restaurant finance teams, treasury teams, controllers, CFOs, and accounting firms that need a repeatable food delivery settlement-to-bank reconciliation process.

| Tax Report | Optional, but useful where GST, VAT, sales tax, service tax, TCS, TDS, taxable value, tax collected, tax deducted, and tax reversal need to be reconciled with settlement and bank records. |
| Outlet / Store Master | Optional, but useful where outlet IDs, restaurant IDs, store IDs, brand, city, franchisee, cost center, entity, and GL mapping need to be added. |
| ERP / Accounting Export | Optional, but useful if platform receivables, settlement clearing, POS sales, commission expenses, deductions, refunds, tax entries, bank receipts, and journal postings are maintained in SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics, Tally, Zoho Books, QuickBooks, or another accounting system. |
| Supporting Data | Optional supporting files can be used for outlet mapping, platform mapping, settlement mapping, UTR mapping, bank account mapping, order mapping, tax mapping, GL mapping, entity mapping, franchise mapping, or other enrichment. |

A bank credit appears in the bank statement, but no matching food delivery platform settlement record is found.

Structured matching first, AI assistance for difficult cases
Cointab applies structured reconciliation logic first, then uses AI to help with difficult open records where fixed rules are not enough.
Structured matching
Structured matching can use:
Matching scenarios
One-to-one
One food delivery platform settlement record matches one bank credit.
One-to-many
One platform settlement maps to multiple bank credits, adjustment entries, reversal entries, fee lines, tax lines, or accounting postings.
Many-to-one
Multiple platform settlements are grouped into one bank credit or accounting entry.
Many-to-many
Multiple settlement records, bank credits, reversal entries, deductions, taxes, and accounting entries are grouped and compared together.
Partial matching
Identifiers match, but settlement amount, bank credit amount, tax amount, deduction amount, refund amount, or payout status differs.
UTR-level matching
Settlement UTRs, bank UTRs, payout references, bank references, and transaction narrations are compared together.
Outlet-level matching
All settlements, commissions, deductions, refunds, taxes, and bank credits for an outlet, store, restaurant, brand, city, franchisee, or entity are grouped and compared.
Platform-level matching
Settlements from Swiggy, Zomato, DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub, Deliveroo, Talabat, Careem, Foodpanda, or other platforms can be grouped by platform where data is available.
Settlement-cycle matching
Payout cycles, settlement periods, expected credit dates, actual bank credit dates, and posting periods are compared together.
Net and contra matching
Gross sales, commissions, platform fees, discounts, refunds, cancellations, deductions, taxes, settlement adjustments, reversals, and bank credits are netted where required.
AI-assisted transaction matching
After structured rules run, AI helps match difficult open transactions where:
- UTRs are missing or inconsistent
- Settlement IDs are formatted differently across files
- Bank narration is messy
- Platform references are embedded inside bank descriptions
- Outlet names differ across platform and bank records
- One settlement is split into multiple bank credits
- Multiple platform settlements are grouped into one bank credit
- Reversal entries are not clearly linked to original payouts
- Refunds or cancellations affect settlement values but are not clearly connected
- Deductions are described inconsistently
- Taxes and statutory deductions require contextual review
- Amounts require business context
- Multiple possible matches exist
AI exception analysis
For transactions that remain open, AI can help identify possible reasons such as:
AI assists matching and exception review, but Cointab keeps reconciliation transparent, reviewable, and audit-friendly.
