Table of Contents:
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
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
This percentage figure, also known as "Actual Gross Margin", is a percentage (%) representing the difference of revenue and the measured cost of the products used for the client during the defined timeframe in the header.

Ideal Gross Margin
This percentage (%) figure represents the difference between revenue and the cost of the product sold. This figure assumes all recipes are made perfectly with no loss.
Ideal COGS
This dollar figure represents the value of the inventory items sold by the client during the defined timeframe in the header.
With this figure being the ideal value, it is assuming that no losses have occurred in any capacity.
Historical Revenue vs. Used Cost vs. Gross Margin
This historical line graph compares Revenue, Used Cost, and Gross Margin over a timeframe of up to 15 periods, or roughly 1 quarter.
The information displayed in this chart is great for quickly determining a client's profitability. The client would like to see the largest gap possible between revenue and used costs, resulting in the highest possible gross margin.
