End-of-Day Report Highlights
The end-of-day report consolidates essential information for your business analysis. The report provides a summary of the following key metrics:
Total Number of Labor Hours: This metric accounts for the total number of hours worked by employees during the day. It gives you an overview of labor distribution and helps with workforce management.
Total Number of Orders Today: This figure indicates the overall number of orders received throughout the day. Tracking this data offers insights into the demand patterns and helps with inventory planning.
Today’s Sales: The "Today’s Sales" section reveals the total monetary value of sales made during the day. It's a crucial metric for understanding the financial performance of your business.
End-of-Day Checklist
Follow these steps to complete your end-of-day tasks effectively:
Unpaid Checks: Before closing, ensure all transactions are settled. Unpaid checks can lead to discrepancies in financial records, impacting daily reconciliation.
Open Checks: Verify any open checks. Address these to avoid errors in reporting and accounting. Finalizing all checks ensures accurate end-of-day reports
Clock-in Employees: Check employees who are currently clocked in. Confirm their end-of-day procedures are completed, ensuring accurate labor tracking and proper payroll management.
Cash Register Activity: Review the recorded cash register activities. Confirm that all transactions are accounted for, and that the register balances correctly with total sales.
Finalizing the Day
Once all tasks are complete, select "Close Restaurant" to secure the location for the next business day. Ensuring these end-of-day tasks are consistently managed will help streamline operations, improve financial accuracy, and set the stage for a successful upcoming shift.
