one year and half barbeque restaurant

Question

1 if charcoal was purchase, which account should I input? Obviously, it is not a food purchase. 
 2 if a delivery expense was charged from customers, and the charges will be remitted to the delivery company, how do I record it? Dr cash Cr delivery payable? 
 3 if some purchase were paid by daily cash, for example on Jan 04, 2018, $5 cleaning supplies were bought from daily cash revenue, should I recorded it as Dr cleaning supplies Cr cash. if I record like this, cash should be short $5? so when I reconcile, debit and credit will both show $5? 
 4 In 2017, no journal entries were input Sage 50(Because a restaurant was established at Nov 2017, so there were not so many transactions which was done manually), but at Dec 31, 2017, all cash, debit card, credit card payments were received at Jan 02, 2018. Should I record Dec 31, 2017 transactions as if the transaction was posted on Jan 02, 2018? otherwise, I am unable to reconcile

OK, the customers are not using the charcoal, the company is using it to cook the food. This is likely going to be a cost of goods account but I don't know what you chart looks like so I can't be more specific than this. 
 Re: delivery charge (you are calling a take-out charge) would be handled as I indicated. 
 re: Cleaning Supplies - assume you had $298 in cash at the end of the day. $200 of that is your float., your cash register says you had customers pay $105 in cash therefore you should have $200+105 at the end of the day, but you know you paid $5 including sales tax for cleaning supplies out of the cash drawer. So you should have $300 but you have $298, so $2 short. 
 If you post the cleaning supplies separately, your daily cash reporting will show a deposit of $305 (or $303 if you leave the float at $200) but in reality it was $298, so you are going to have to do math when you do the bank rec. Post the cleaning supplies appropriately with the sales tax amount paid at the time of the daily cash posting and you will not have to do math during the bank rec. 
 Sounds like you are doing cash-basis transactions instead of accrual during 2017. I would be talking with the company's accountant about this. You are encroaching on tax issues rather than how to post entries in/use Sage 50. and I am not an accountant so I cannot advise you on how to handle a possibly incorrect year end filing. You are completely missing the purchases for 2017 that had to have taken place to keep a restaurant open.
