Plain-English summary#
Reports live in admin.foodops.io. A Reports menu down the left side lists around two dozen ready-made reports, each on its own page. Every report has filters (date range, outlet, register, order type, category) and a results table. A few reports also show in the counter app — for example the end-of-day Day Summary (called End of Day in the admin Reports menu).
Reports include Sales by Hour & Daypart, Sales by Service Type, Voids, Comps & Discounts and Covers.
When you'd use this#
End of day: run End of Day (the page is headed Day Summary) to match receipts against cash when reconciling the register. End of month: Revenue Contribution (%) for accounting. The Output and Input Tax Statements are not in the Foodops Reports menu. Weekly: Sales by Product (what's selling), Stock Summary (what's in stock), A/R Aging (who owes you). Any time: filter any report by date to look at a specific event, shift or campaign.
How to access#
- Reports menu: in admin.foodops.io, the Reports menu stays on the left so you can jump between reports without leaving the area.
- Counter app: the end-of-day Day Summary is also available in the counter app, for closing out on the floor.
Key concepts#
- Dates (Day Summary) — a switch next to the filters with two choices, Business Date and Transaction Date. It sets which date the report uses to pick the sales to include.
- FOC — "Free Of Charge" — comped items or orders. Tracked separately from discounts because the tax treatment is different.
- Committed Stock — stock set aside for orders that haven't gone out yet. Unlike sold stock, it isn't taken off on-hand until the order closes.
- Brand — a level above categories, used when one Foodops organisation runs several concepts. Brand reports only show data for organisations that have set up brands.
Common questions#
Q: Which report should I run at end of day? A: End of Day (the page is headed Day Summary). Filter by today's date and pick the register(s) you closed. Check the Cash Summary against the cash in the drawer.
Q: How do I see each day's sales? / Where is the daily sales report? / How do I know the sales of the day? A: Run the End of Day report (headed Day Summary). Set the Date Range to the day (or a preset like Today / Yesterday) and Submit. It adds up that day's sales (Total Sales, Total Amount, Received, Outstanding), payments by method, a category breakdown, and cash per register. To compare several days side by side, use Sales Details with a multi-day date range, or Revenue by Month for a longer trend. The counter app shows the same Day Summary, so you can check it without leaving the till.
Q: How do I add / record expenses? Where do daily costs go? A: Expenses are recorded in the admin app, not on the till. Use Expenses → Records to log a one-off or reimbursable expense, or Expenses → Bills for a supplier invoice you'll pay later. See Recording Expenses for the full steps. (Cash taken out of the register drawer mid-shift is different — that's a cash withdrawal / pickup on the register session, not a business expense.)
Q: How do I view the sales order report? A: There's no report called "Sales Order" in the Reports menu. Sales orders are documents you view and manage at Sales → Sales Orders: a list you can filter and search, where you open each order, create, edit or duplicate orders, and export the list to CSV or Excel from the Export dialog. For sales analysis (what sold, by product, customer or day), use Sales Details, Sales by Product or End of Day in the Reports menu.
Q: Where's the monthly revenue-vs-target comparison? A: There's no built-in target-vs-actual report. Use Revenue by Month and compare it with your target outside Foodops.
