Do you use the Business Summary report in SP-1?  It’s a great tool and offers a ton of information regarding your sales.    The business summary is made up of sixteen sub-reports that show everything from total sales and tax to how many times someone selected an additional modifier.

Sometimes, you don’t need that level of detail every time you run the report however.  SP-1 has a setting to help you default the reports that you want to run often.   To set this, simply go to Reports and then Report Settings 2.

Here is a screen shot with the sixteen sub reports:

 

Here is the screen where you can select defaults:

Are you tracking labor cost?

After one of the last trade shows, I came away realizing that there are a number of people that don’t use our Employee Time feature.  I’m not sure what the thought is here as it is INCREDIBLY easy to track the employee time keeping in SP-1!

Once you have employees clocked in SP-1 starts tracking the time for each employee.  If you take the time to enter the wage per employee, then SP-1 is also tracking your labor cost!

Labor cost is automatically reported on your BSR (Business Summary Recap), Dashboard, as well as being reported on the MobileDash.  Having these numbers available to you are very important in controlling your costs on a regular basis.

One note, we do find people that are not tracking their salaried employees because they don’t clock in / out.  We have the ability to enter the daily salary of those employees in one spot so that it is reported with our labor percentages!  This can be found in Reports | Reports Setup: 1

Over the last couple weeks we have had some questions regarding the Business Summary. As you may know, this is the best report to see what is happening in your store! One of the questions came from a current customer (Ralph from Classic Pizza in Michigan): Ralph wanted to know about splitting the sales into a day and night shift for total sales comparison.

Our Business Summary has a the ability to break down the total sales by a day and night part. This is great for seeing where the majority of your business comes from. Also, these numbers break out the total tickets and the average dollar per ticket on the report. This is very useful in figuring out what is happening in the store!

Don’t forget that you default which reports show up on the Business Summary – this way you can set it up to only have your pertinent reports show on a daily basis.

One other item to be aware of is that a portion of this report will be exported to an excel compatible file when you select the XML button.
