You can filter your product mix report to show you (1) the top 10 profit by products. This is based on product cost and product price. You must have product costs entered for your items in order for this graph to display. And (2) top 10 quantity sold, which shows your top ten most sold items, and it’s a great way to quickly gauge what’s popular at your business!

By clicking the ‘Preferences’ button you can sort preferences, filter the fields you want displayed, adjust the quantity that displays next to each product, select the sales data you'd like to view, add in discount, margin, and pricing columns, and choose various taxing options.

Sales Summary Report

The Sales Summary Report provides detailed insight from daily sales, including fees, discounts, taxes, liabilities, and payments. This is a great way to uncover historical sales trends for your restaurant or store and further refine your merchandising strategy. This tool includes a global breakdown of all financial payments and transactions.

Reading the Graph

The graph at the top of the report displays the sales for any selected time range (click date on top left side of header to select range). Once selected, you will see that each bar signifies a particular day and hover over a bar to see the date along with the Net To Account For amount.

Customize Your Report

From here you can see sales determined in a number of different ways, for example, net sales, gross sales, total product sales, taxable and nontaxable sales, total service fees, total discounts, and many more.  

An important part of the sales summary is tracking your liabilities. This includes, both activities that increase liabilities (including the sale of gift cards or the taking of a deposit on an invoice) and activities that decrease liabilities (including the use of gift cards or payments against house accounts).
