Share accurate reports with owners or accountants effortlessly
Track trends over time to make informed strategic decisions
Live performance indicators updated in real-time
Designed for different use cases and time horizons
Purpose: Quick daily performance check
Purpose: Pattern identification over time
Purpose: Detailed analysis and exports
GP% = (Sales − COGS) ÷ Sales × 100
Example: Sales $10,000, COGS $2,850
GP% = ($10,000 − $2,850) ÷ $10,000 × 100 = 71.5%
COGS = Total Ingredient Cost − Waste Value
Example: Ingredients $3,000, Waste $150
COGS = $3,000 − $150 = $2,850 (28.5% of sales)
Waste% = Waste Value ÷ Total Cost × 100
Example: Waste $150, Ingredients $3,000
Waste% = $150 ÷ $3,000 × 100 = 5.0%
