The Wages vs Sales report compares employee costs and sales over a selected period. There are numerous options to vary the analysis.

Start by selecting the desired date range. The appropriate range will vary according to the breakdown type you need; the default breakdown is by the hour, so it may make sense to choose a range of a day, or no more than a week. For a breakdown by day, choose a week to a month, for a monthly breakdown choose a quarter to a year. The final breakdown option, Overall, can apply to any period.

Other options which will affect the report compilation are available underneath the Breakdown option;

  • Report On
    • Payments Taken – compares wages in the time period to the payments recorded in the till. More representative in wet-led, bar-service type environments.
    • Sales Entered (default) – compares wages against the sales entered in the time period. For an hourly breakdown where table service is in place, this will show a more even spread than payments taken, since tabs are likely to be paid more towards the end of a sitting
  • Show wage comparison for
    • Rota’d wages – expected wages for the selected period based on the rota. Requires a valid rota to have been prepared for the selected period.
    • Logged wages – actual wages based on hours worked in the selected period. Requires staff logging option to be in use.
    • Both (default)
  • Sales Type
    • Gross – inclusive of any VAT (default)
    • Net – VAT element (at rate set for each applicable sale item) removed.
