I used to live in the US over 20 years ago. Only recently did I learn that in the US we don't use checkbooks in our daily lives anymore.
Does everyone open checkbooks at the cash register anymore ?
Please let me know if there are other things that they don't do this anymore or are gone.

Although not related to check payment, there was a time when the airport shuttle bus between Van Nuys Airport and LAX was cash-only. However, the ticket booths suddenly changed to accept only credit card payment, as if the ticket salesman, who was supposed to be a city employee, had stolen the cash out of the booth.

Now there should only be kiosk machines ( vending machines ) that only accept cards, as I have no business at LAX since 2019.

Restaurant Management Bookkeeping Methods

I have been leaving all bookkeeping for the restaurant to the accountancy,
but from now on I am going to do it myself, except for TAX RETURN.

I have only one restaurant with single digit employees. 
What I would like your advice on is

① Do I need software, since many people say they don't really know how to use it,
Is Excel ok or would it be easier to have it,
If so, is there a monthly Subscription
Do we need an online plan? ?

② I hear that it is better to outsource the bi-weekly payroll
. Is it better to apply from the ADP website rather than from Quickbooks, etc. ?
I know there is Paycheckcity, etc.

③ I heard that monthly sales tax is done from CA state application page.
Quickbooks ONLINE Plan has a section called "sales tax", is this a way to pay using the ONLINE Plan? accounting firm uses Quickbooks.
If we stop using the accounting firm, will we have to purchase the software and input our account from scratch? I'm wondering if we really need the software.


I would appreciate any advice on an easy way to transition from the accounting firm to doing this myself.

How are you going to manage inventory, food purchasing, expenses, and SalesTax without using software ?
Expenses are divided into various categories, so you can drop 100% of them or spend 3 years
If you have to do it in Excel, it's easy to use Quickbooks!
You should think about it in case you get audited
Currently the Quickbooks admins are the accounting firms, so they won't give you the historical data ? Well, I don't need it
I'm still using 2019 Quickbooks. I'm still using Quickbooks currently. You don't have to buy the software every year
Of course I haven't used the software all the way through, but it's cheaper and easier

① If you don't have a branch office, you can use Desktop ? We use Desktop
② We do our own employee ? If you're not solo, you'll have to hire an outside firm
③ SalesTax is done by typing it in yourself on the CDTFA site, and Quickbooks will give you the numbers, so this isn't that hard

I don't think you have Excel nowadays ?

> You have only one store and a single-digit employee size

so it is difficult to decide whether to manage the finances yourself or leave it to someone else.

If you have a "right-hand man" to whom you can entrust the direct management of the store, including employee supervision, you can immerse yourself in financial management, but if not, you will have to entrust all or part of the work to an outside agency. If you are familiar with accounting software and the software is linked to your accountant's computer, you can use a "tripod" approach, where your accountant calculates sales tax, State Board of Equalization, and IRS-related taxes and you make the payments. You can have your accountant calculate the sales tax, etc., and pay the IRS related taxes on your own.

In my case, I started with Mom and Pop Corporation, which at one time had over 50 people including myself paying payroll checks, but I left the accountant to someone I had hired since I was an expatriate. When the number of employees started to increase, I needed a receptionist and secretary, so I asked her to put the employee's working hours in Excel and sent the data to ADP to make the Paycheck. I don't need to go this far for you. It's just Gigi's bragging.

Hiro,

> The epoxy has changed laterally over time

What does "lateral change" mean? I looked it up in Kojien, but it was not found.
In any case, it would be a good thing if it lasted for 10 years.

The one I mentioned is only a few dollars, so if the color changes and it becomes noticeable,
you can just repaint it again. If you call a contractor, they will charge you about $80
just for the trip.

Incidentally, the school that appears at the top of the California rankings in LAUSD is Roscomare Road Elementary, ranked 14th,
formerly known as Balboa Elementary (formally Balboa Gifted/High Ability Magnet Elementary ) had long been the top ranked school in
LAUSD, but since the principal changed, the ranking has been dropping steadily.

If you want to know how your child's school ranks in California, you can enter the school name
in the Search field.
Of course, you can also search California middle school rankings and High School Rankings.
If you change the number in the "show schools at a time" field at the bottom, up to 100 schools will be displayed on one page.
If you want to see schools by Unified, you can enter the Unified name.
If you are interested in a school, you can click on the name of the school to see the details of that school.

Of course, local residents have priority for popular schools, but this year, even popular schools that normally would not be able to get in have a higher chance of getting in because they are not filled up due to Corona. I think it is a way to change schools to take advantage of this chance to get in even if you cross the border.

I agree. The test score difference between the top 70 is 1%.
Considering that I'm ranked 641st in a school with a score of 90%, the test score is more important than what rank I'm ranked.

Once upon a time, there was a big fuss when it was discovered that a Japanese child who did not speak English well was told to miss school on the day of the National Common Achievement Test. Why do schools care so much about test scores?

In California, education funding has been cut so much from the state budget that teachers have gone on strike.
The rule that if a school's overall test score goes up 5% over the previous year, it gets more money from the state, and if it goes down 5%, it gets less ( within 5% of the previous year, it stays the same ) has made schools jump through hoops.... I heard that. ( Sorry, but this is just what I heard, not verified by myself )
I would like to believe that now they should no longer give recess to students who cannot speak English ・ ・ ・.

Greetings, I graduated from college this spring and am currently waiting for my OPT visa to arrive.

However, I myself have already graduated from school this spring, and my I20 expired in June.
In this case, how can I take the exam? By the way, my F1 has not expired.

What you are waiting for is not an OPT visa, not an SSN, but an EAD card.
As others have said, the I-20 is valid until the OPT is over, so take that with you.
I don't think you should say AB60 because it is for illegal aliens and doesn't apply to them and could complicate the conversation.

I thought you could stay 60 days after your I20 expired ? If your I20 expired in June, it seems you are not illegal yet. However, if you stay in the U.S. for more than 60 days before your visa expires, you will be in the U.S. illegally 100% of the time, and you will be in trouble the next time you enter the U.S. You should worry about your visa from OPT before your driver's license.
