Know what a shift cost you while you can still do something about it.

Most operators see how a month went three weeks after it ended, in a P&L from somebody who was not there. By then the overstaffed Tuesday and the dish whose margin collapsed are history.

The total is the least useful number you have

Every till tells you what you took, and you could have guessed that within a few hundred pounds by standing in the room. Two Saturdays with identical takings can be a good week and a bad week, depending on what you paid in wages, what you threw away and how much went out at a discount. The total hides all three.

The awkward one

Voids, discounts and refunds are attributed to the person who put them through. Most of what that surfaces is training: somebody discounting three times a shift usually has not been shown how to fix a mistake properly. It turns a suspicion into a number you can sit down and talk about.

Every number in one system

Sales by day part, labour against takings by shift and site, item margin and mix, voids and discounts by person, and every site side by side. The reporting is the till seen from the other side, so labour and sales already sit together, and accounting platforms pull the same figures directly. The same numbers open in a browser and in the mobile app.

What it costs

Included with SkyTab POS

Reporting and analytics is part of SkyTab POS at £39 a month with £0 upfront. It is included in the till, and every module that carries its own charge is published in full on the pricing page. Prices exclude VAT.

Questions operators ask

What can I see that my current till does not show me?

Labour cost against takings by shift, item level margin, void and discount patterns by staff member, and average spend by day part. Most tills show you the total and stop there.

Can I get reports without being on site?

Yes. Reporting runs in a browser and in the mobile app, so the figures are the same whether you are in the office, at home or standing in another venue.

Does it show me which staff are discounting?

Yes. Voids, discounts and refunds are attributed to the person who put them through, which turns a suspicion into something you can sit down and discuss.

Can I export the data?

Yes, and it also connects to accounting platforms directly so the same figures are not keyed twice. The integration list is on the POS integrations page.

Is reporting charged as an add on?

No. It is part of SkyTab POS at £39 a month, exclusive of VAT. The modules that are charged separately are all published on the pricing page.
