Sales by dish and by staff
What sells and at what margin, which waiters bring in more, where there are many discounts and refunds.
By dish
Shows for each item: quantity, revenue, share of revenue, cost and margin.
Do not look at the top of the list — look at two places:
- many sales, low margin — the dish feeds the guests but not the venue. A candidate for a price or recipe review;
- high margin, few sales — a dish worth promoting: move it higher on the menu, ask waiters to suggest it.
By staff
Revenue, number of receipts and average check for each person. Next to them — discounts and refunds.
Revenue depends on shifts: whoever worked more sold more. The average check compares people fairly — it shows who knows how to suggest and who just rings things up.
What to look at alongside
Many discounts or refunds from one person are a reason to open Control and see what exactly is behind them.
