Revenue centers are used for reporting
where revenue is generated. This is generally used to categorize reported sales from different sources, like different dining areas, different methods of orders like Dine In, To Go, and Carry Out, as well as third party online platforms as Uber Eats, DoorDash, Grubhub, etc.
Revenue centers are purely for reporting
and do not have any bearing on the
function of the software. To make a dining
area report to a revenue center, it must be
assigned in Dining Areas.
These reports are completely separate from Daily Sales Reports and will not affect it as such, but they add depth when categorizing the reports when looking at other reports like Revenue Source Reports.
1. First, go to the Manager Console and go to Setup > Revenue Source Setup > Revenue Centers
2. If Revenue Center is not on the list, click on Add.
3. Name the Revenue Center and click OK
4. The revenue center added will now appear on the list. Click Done.
5. Go back to Setup > Revenue Source Setup > Dining Areas
6. Select the Dining Area you want to have the specific Revenue Center reporting. Click Edit.
Note: If the Dining Area is not on the list. Verify if it is not In-Active. If not under In-Active,
Add Like a new Dining Area
and review features and settings are correct.
7. On the General tab, make sure that under "Revenue Ctr" it has selected the Revenue Center newly created or intended for the reporting that is needed. Then click OK, then Done on the other window to save.
This will now allow the reports of the new revenue center appear under Revenue Center Reports.
To access such report go to the Manager Consoler > Reports > Revenue Center Reports > Department Sales (this is as an example, but can look into other sales under this category).
Select the date range wanted. Then preview.
The newly added revenue center now appears as part of the reports.
Although these are reports that appear separate from Daily Sales Reports, these can be implemented differently as Payment Methods if they need to be recorded as such for online ordering in specific. For implementing this, make sure check the article: Adding OLO and Third Party Payment Methods.
