Step 5: Complete Mapping​

Now that your Grubhub account is connected, complete the mapping to the accounts from your Accounting Platform (e.g., QuickBooks Online). This can be done by clicking "Setup" on the Connections tab and then "Map" for a specific template. After mapping, set each journal entry to ON to activate daily entries.

Step 6: Configure Time Zone and End of Day​

Within the Connections view dropdown, click Configure to select the correct time zone and end of day for the Grubhub account. This ensures accurate data retrieval and posting.

This is also where you will also need to choose your Accounting platform company file (see "QuickBooks Company ID" in the below screenshot) where the Grubhub data will be posted.
