Tips to Get the Most from Analytics++

Weekly routine:

1. Check the Overview every morning – how did yesterday go?
2. Review Staff cost against budget once a week
3. Run Period comparison (this week vs last) every Monday

Monthly routine:

1. Go through Menu Engineering – move Plowhorses toward Stars
2. Review Profitability – profitability per category
3. Update the budget for the coming month
4. Check Booking analytics – no-show trend and popular times

Fill in cost prices: Without cost prices you lack margin data. Start with the best sellers, then check remaining products and variants. Do not assume that a certain revenue share is covered without checking your own sales.

Check each report’s amount definitions and use the same time basis when comparing. Product mix’s Netto includes VAT, whereas Profitability’s margin metrics use amounts excluding VAT.

Use filters: Filter by service type or payment method to compare e.g. takeaway vs dine-in, or cash vs card.
