The report itself breaks down each day and shows the Sales value from your POS, the Labour value from your time clocks, and the Cost of Goods value from your POS items sold. We take this information to calculate your Gross Profit - Sales - (Labour + Cost of Goods) in both dollar value and percentage of sales.

The Cost of Goods values are shown only where a POS item is POS Linked to a Stock Item or a recipe in Loaded. If you have items on your POS that have been sold, but these are not linked to anything in Loaded these will not be shown in the report. We recommend ensuring all items sold have POS links to ensure accurate Cost of Goods.
