Reporting & VAT
Daily revenue, top items, refund trail, VAT-ready exports. Pulled from the same database that ran the shift. So the report and the till always agree.
End-of-day report shows gross sales, net sales, VAT, tips, refunds, voids, and payment method breakdown. Card totals reconcile to Stripe. Cash totals reconcile to the float. The shift closes when the numbers match, not when the manager guesses.
See which items sold, when, on which channel. Spot the dish that's killing it on Friday lunch but invisible on Saturday dinner. Spot the modifier nobody picks. Menu engineering with evidence, not opinion.
Every refund and void is logged with reason, staff member, and Stripe reference. The end-of-day report flags any unusual pattern. When something looks wrong, you can drill into the original order in two clicks.
Export a VAT period in the format your accountant expects: gross, net, VAT, by category, by channel. CSV that imports cleanly into Xero, QuickBooks, or Sage. No manual reconciliation between three systems at quarter-end.
The dashboard, the end-of-day report, the VAT export, and the staff-board live numbers all read from the same database. There is no separate reporting cube to fall out of sync. What you see in the morning is what actually happened the night before.
