Understanding the Daily Sales Report
The Daily Sales Report is broken down to give you a breakdown of all of your sales versus your payments and shows you how you balance. The left sections of your report give you the totals of the sales and payments and shows the balance between them. The right sections of the report give a breakdown of all your sales and payments. And the bottom sections of the report show additional statistics and information such as estimated sales per guest or alerts on reopened checks etc.
