CREATE REPORTING GROUPS

Depending on your business needs, Reporting Groups can be as simple as grouping your: Food & Beverages under those names.

Or more thorough such as categorising: Starters, Mains, Desserts, Specials, Non-Alcoholic Drinks, Coffees, Alcohol, …

For our business model example, we are going to create 4 Reporting Groups:

  • Coffees / Teas

  • Food

  • Drinks

  • Retail

  1. In your Back Office => Settings => Other => Reporting Groups

  2. Type the name of your Reporting Groups => SAVE


ASSIGN REPORTING GROUPS TO PRODUCTS

Now that our Groups are Created, let's Assign them to our Products

There are 2 ways:

1. Assign to a single Product:

  1. In your Back Office => Products => Products => Select a Category OR Search for a Product

  2. Edit that Product using the Pen Icon:

  1. In ' General ' => Select the Reporting Group needed for that Product from the dropdown => SAVE:


2. Bulk Assign to a several Products:

  1. In your Back Office => Products => Products => Select a Category

  2. Tick All the Products belonging to the same Reporting Groups

    OR:

3. Tick the Checkbox next to ' Product Name ' to select all the Products from that category:

4. OR just select the Products you would like to apply the same Reporting Group to.

5. Click on ' Options ' ( right end )

( the amount of Products selected will show between brackets )

6. Select: ' Assign Reporting Groups ' :

7. Select the Reporting Groups wanted and click on ' Assign reporting group to products '

8. Repeat for all your Categories / Products


IN YOUR REPORTS

  1. In your Back Office => Reports => Shift Summary => Select a Date / Shift

2. On the bottom of your Shift Summary you can see: ' Product Type Summary ' with your new Reporting Groups & the amount of sales in their respective categories

⚠️ Your Past ' Shift Summaries ' will not have the Reporting Groups, only the ones onward.

⚠️ If no ' Reporting Groups ' are assigned to a Product: you Products will be reported as

' Others '
