Sales summary report explained

Alongside the Sales log detail report, the Sales summary report gives you full visibility of your sales, refunds and discounts. By selecting a specific time frame and grouping options, you can analyze the performance and key metrics for that period. For example:

  • Location - See how much revenue each location is contributing.
  • Team member & upsell sales - Group data by team member and include Upsell Net Sales to identify who’s excelling at upselling. This helps highlight strengths and areas for training.
  • Channel - Group data by channel and use the Average Net Sales per Sale column to find out which channels bring in higher sales. This helps prioritize channels that are more profitable and align with your business goals.
  • Discount - Group data by discount type to see which promotions are working best and understand the impact of each deal.

Using the Sales summary report

By selecting a specific date range, grouping and filters, you can track the sales performance and summary for the selected period.

NOTE: 

  • Voided sales and Gift card sales are excluded from the report.
  • A client is classified as "new" based on their first purchase. Any client making their first sale will be marked as a new client.

TOP TIP: This report doesn’t include tips or service charges because it’s based on sale items. To see these extra charges, check the Service charges, Tips summary and Sales list report to understand these additional charges.
