Bill, having run a small retail business I suggest that the heart of any system should be the cash register[s] - take a look at the low end of the various suppliers' networked ranges and check for computer connectivity features; at the very least you want to be able to upload the end-of-session summaries. You should be able to pick up figures for the income side of your accounts. For directly sold items (wine beer &c.) you also have stock control data, and even prepared items (meals) can be analysed to give reasonable ball-park figures to control any serious 'shrinkage'. I agree on Quicken / Quickbooks for accounts (if you don't issue many invoices QuickBooks is ott), you might even find a cash register that will interface with Intuit.
