Overview
Reporting answers: How did we trade? Who sold what? Where did cash go? What leaked in comps? Use Sales → Analytics / Orders / Cash up and related dashboards on admin (desktop or mobile).
What to check every day
- Sales today vs a normal day (filters in Analytics).
- Open orders — nothing abandoned.
- Unpaid / signed list — chase plan.
- Comps / voids — anything unusual.
- Cash up completed for shifts that ended.
Tavio reporting centres on Cash up, Analytics, and Orders history — not classic Z/X register reports.
Tip: Pick a fixed morning routine (10 minutes) before deliveries arrive.
Cash up
Cash up reconciles expected drawer money vs counted cash, cards, tips, and payouts.
- Staff finish open tables.
- Run cash up for the session/shift.
- Count cash; enter totals.
- Explain variance (wrong change, missing tip entry, payout).
- Manager signs off per your policy.
In admin: Sales → Cash up — review historical cash-ups when a shift disputes numbers.
Analytics slices that matter
| View | Why |
|---|---|
| Sales by hour | Staffing the rush |
| Sales by staff | Coaching & incentives |
| Kitchen vs bar | Prep load |
| Payment mix | Cash exposure & card fees |
| Top products | 80/20 menu focus |
| Comps / unpaid | Leakage |
Exports
Export orders or summaries when you need accountants, franchise reports, or Xero-linked workflows. Keep raw exports stored safely.
Trading day reminder
Reports follow business hours, not always calendar midnight. If Friday service ends 02:00 Saturday, those sales may still sit on Friday’s trading day.
Common mistakes
- Reading “today” without checking hours.
- Comparing staff sales without section fairness.
- Ignoring comps because “it was only a few drinks.”
Tips
Good practice: Weekly 15-minute owner review: sales, variance, top voids/comps, unpaid aging.
Troubleshooting
| If this happens | Check this |
|---|---|
| Numbers disagree with memory | Filters (staff, payment, date); trading day |
| Cash up variance | Tips entry; payouts; wrong shift selected |
| Missing order | Still open; voided; wrong venue/day |
| Export empty | Date range; filters |
