Sales By Item Report

The Sales By Item command allows you to generate a report showing all items sold, providing totals as well as a breakdown of food types (appetizer, entree, cold drinks, hot drinks, etc) and meal periods in which each food type was purchased, over a selected period of time.

 The report gives a listing of each category, how much was ordered and the dollar amount. The bottom of the report shows the total number of checks, by meal period, the total number of covers (customers) and provides an extrapolated average sales amount per person and per check.

This report is similar to the Daily Recap report, but can report on multiple days, and can be customized to show a weekly, monthly or longer period of time as desired.

The Sales By Item command is found in the Reports section of the POS Main Menu.
