Transaction reports: shows all billed items in a defined time range and displays important information on Discounts, Service Fee collected, Sales and VAT. From here you can also print the receipts again or give refunds (full receipt or just certain items). Product Margin Report: It shows a breakdown of sales by product. It also shows the profitability of each product if you add COGS to each product User KPIs: These are performance management reports showing who are the most performing waiters in terms of Food delivered or items billed. It shows also the individual TIPs logged by each of the waiters in the system. For kitchen personal, it shows the best performing cook in terms of items prepared in a certain interval. Operational KPIs: This is a statistical report for monitoring kitchen performance. It displays the average delivery time of items for the day, the month and the year.  The higher the people wait for their food or drinks, the more they are unsatisfied.  Therefore, it should be the objective of the restaurant owner to reduce servicing time as much as possible. And to keep the delivery time constant across the year, month or day. Department KPIs: This cake chart shows the breakdown of item sold by department. COGS report: Shows all the material consumed/sold in a time range. This report is intended to prevent product stock outs. TIP report: Shows a breakdown of the tips by payment method.

You need to click on the restaurant, then click on orders, select “Service”. Click on the table that you want to bill. On the table screen select “Pay All”. All items that have not been delivered, will need to be delivered or cancelled (why would you charge for something that has not been delivered). In the billing screen you can add tips, payment methods, eventual discounts.

Question 17

How do I access the POS screen?

Accepted Answer

The POS screen is meant for people serving directly at the counter such as bartenders, food truck owners, café etc. To reach this screen you go on the home page, click on the restaurant you are interested in, click on POS. For this screen there is the possibility to open a tab for their clients (and even name it). In case someone would like to pay at the end of the servicing. For this type of restaurant there are different scenarios: Client pays now and consumes now: A client order a beer/or gelato. He is served by the person who then bills him and prints a receipt. In this case there is no need to “call items”: call items would send the items to your KDS. Client pays now, but consume later: A client might be ordering some food items which are prepared in the kitchen. Items should be “called” so that they can appear in the kitchen Display. A receipt will be generated. The client pays the bartender, but consumes its meal once it is ready Client consumes now (or later), pays later: a typical case are the people consuming their drinks in a Pub. A “tab” is opened and items are debited on their account. At the end of the drinking session, the client is served with the bill. The tab can be given the name of the client. During the billing process it is still possible to split the bill. So you don’t need to open several tabs for the same group of friends. If items from the kitchen are ordered as well, they should be “called” to appear in the KDS.

Question 18

How do I add COGS to each of my restaurant products?

Accepted Answer

For adding COGS to your products, you need to go into the product screens. In there you click on COGS and start filling data. You need to insert the key ingredient in the ingredient table. For instance Pasta. You need to decide the unit of measure used for buying pasta: Kg or Lb ( it is unlikely you buy pasta in mg!). Once the ingredient is inserted you need to list how much of it you consume in that specific dish. So in the case of the pasta example, you would use grams. If you want, you can also add COGS on different formats or even the extras. Depending on how expensive ingredients / row material are. I would not recommend changing COGS for the big or small portion of pasta. But it would be important to flag COGS in case of expensive stakes. Once COGS are all inserted, submit the changes. If you have another product with similar COGS duplicate the product and edit the COGS for the second one. Main Advantages of using COGS You can always adjust the price of the key ingredients: all product prices will be adjusted accordingly in real time. So you are always in control of your true cost of material from one ingredient used in multiple products Run Regular reports on your inventory and monitor the “consumed stock”. This will help to prevent any product stock out

One of the main advantages of this overview is the fact it will help employees or managers to program better holidays or leaves. You will not submit a request for leave if you already see that your colleague took already time off.

Question 22
