Revenue

revenue

The Revenue figure displays the sales volume of the venue during the time frame identified in the header bar. These numbers are calculated based on the quantity sold multiplied by the price point of each of those drinks provided by the point-of-sale system.

Depending on the point-of-sale system and processes in place in the establishment, this number may include recorded spills, if costs are assigned, non-alcoholic items, and more. 


Used Cost

used_cost_2

This data figure represents the summation of all the classes of the product that has been used up since the previously measured inventory, taking into consideration purchases. 

This figure is different from Cost of Goods Sold and Sold (cost) where those figures are theoretical, assuming no slippage or spills.

gross_profit

The Gross Profits figure represents the difference between the costs of the products sold and the revenue generated from the sales of those products.

gross_margin
