This report compares the performance of your stores to highlight their strengths and weaknesses. Find out how which stores have the highest sales, are giving the most discounts or voiding the most items.
The sales by location report can be found under Reporting>Sales>SalesByLocation
This allows you to see details of any cash which has been added or withdrawn (banked) from the till. Including the staff member, the amount and the time. This can be found under Misc in reporting section of the back office.
Many of your reports now contain links (shown below in blue). This allows you to move to seamlessly to another report using the same search criteria such as the date range or staff member.
Click the link on a products name to see the Sales Breakdown for that product by hour, day, week or month.

A meal-deal is a promotion where the customer can make multiple selections as part of a promotion. E.g. choose from a selection of drinks and a selection of mains to be eligible for a promotion. You can create a meal deal with any number of groups and use any of the existing discounts such as 2 for £10, save 10%, bonus points etc.
To set a promotion to be treated as a meal deal, check the "Meal Deal" box and select how many meal deal groups (how many selections the customer must make) from the drop down below it. Then set the price for the meal deal as normal.
To set which items are in each deal group; click the button corresponding with the deal group, and add products and categories as normal. You can see which deal group you are editing at any time by looking at the label (highlighted in the image above).
Two new revenue driving types of promotion have been added to the software.
"Spend £ Save %" and "Spend £ Save £".
These promotions are designed to encourage customers to purchase more in order to qualify for an additional discount. For example spend over £30 on cosmetics to receive a 10% discount.
Promotions can now be mixed and used in conjunction with each other or you can specify that a promotion should not be used in conjunction with any other promotions.
To set a deal to not be used in conjunction with other promotions, check the "Not to be used in conjunction" box when creating the promotion.
Promotions can now be set to only be active between certain times. Chose “Between times” as the duration for the promotion and you will be presented with 2 boxes in which to enter the start and end time. The promotion will then automatically be applied to purchases made between the selected times.
Quick buttons have been added to till for the top selling products at each location. This makes the till much quicker to use if a lot of your sales come from several main products. These products are generated from the highest selling products in the chosen time period.
These products will then show on the top level category on the till. They will still appear under their correct category on the till and the back office and they will use any category setting such as which order printer to print to.
Orders from the table plan are now locked for editing whilst open. This avoids conflicts if the order is edited by 2 users at the same time. If another user is editing an order then you will receive the following message detailing who is editing the order and on what device.
You can now filter out orders from a certain device. This can be useful if you want to print out drinks orders from hand tablets and a restaurant till but not orders made at your bar. This speeds up your service as drinks can immediately be prepared at a bar ready for your waiting staff to collect.
Filters can be added in the back office. Go to:
BackOffice > Locations&Devices > OrderPrinting
Choose a device and a printer type. Orders from the selected device will not be printed by the selected printer type.
Orders can now be split into multiple transactions on till. This can be useful if customers decide that they want to pay separately. To split a bill:
The selected items will now be shown and the other items will be put back into their previous state (Hold or Ordered)
This shows all transactions which are pending on the current device and allows a user to delete or resume them without logging in as the user who has them pending. This can be found under Unhold/History on the Till (shown below).
You can now customise the order of the Products and Categories on the till by using the “Till order” column in the back office. By using this feature you can choose how you want products to appear to help your staff serve customers quicker.
