Sales by channel
Direct, counter and marketplace revenue in one comparison.
REPORTING & ACCOUNTING
Numbers that come from the operation, not from a re-typing exercise.
Sales, cost of goods, fast and slow movers and margin by item — assembled from live trading rather than reconciled the next morning.
Included in the Complete plan.
Yesterday's numbers, next week
Most independent restaurants find out how a month went several weeks after it ended, from a bookkeeper working off exports. By the time the picture is clear, the decisions it should have informed have already been made.
The deeper problem is that the numbers arrive without their causes attached. Revenue is down — but is it covers, average spend, a channel, a daypart, or one dish that stopped selling? A profit and loss statement cannot tell you, because the operational detail was thrown away long before the accounts were assembled.
And a warning worth stating plainly, because the industry is full of dashboards that get this wrong: a margin figure that excludes labor, rent, utilities, packaging and card fees is not profit. Real independent restaurant net margins run somewhere around 3–9%. Any system showing you dramatically more than that is measuring something narrower than it is calling it.
Reporting as a by-product of trading
Because orders, items, costs, stock movement and channels all live in one platform, reporting is assembled from what actually happened rather than reconstructed afterwards.
That gives you the operational questions and the financial ones in the same place: which items are fast and slow movers, what each channel contributed, where item-level margin is thin, and what the period looks like for tax purposes.
We label these figures precisely. Gross margin on menu items is shown as gross margin on menu items — revenue less item cost, before labor, rent, overhead and payment fees. It is a useful number when you know what it excludes and a dangerous one when you don't.

Fast movers, slow movers, and what each is worth.
Gross margin by item

Cost of goods
Purchasing and stock movement feeding the financial view.
Tax-ready periods
Reporting structured for the filings you actually make.
Accounting workflows
Reconciliation and management reporting in the same platform.
What it connects to
Reporting is downstream of everything else, which is why it can be trusted:
Your POS — Counter sales included through the same connection.
Online ordering — Direct revenue counted at item level.
Inventory — Item cost and stock movement drive cost of goods.
Multi-outlet — Consolidated reporting across a group where you run one.
The comparison that decides things
For most owners the report that matters most in the first year is the simplest one: revenue taken through a channel you own, against what the same volume would have cost through a marketplace.
For Brooklyn Pizza that comparison was $31,533 in direct sales against $4,700–$9,500 that would otherwise have gone out in commission. Everything else in the reporting suite is downstream of that decision.
QUESTIONS
Reporting & accounting, answered.
Anything specific to your operation, we'll cover during discovery rather than guess at here.
Ask us directlyNo. Reporting features are tools, not professional advice — we say so in our terms. Verify figures before filing anything or making a financial decision.
Yes, and your existing POS reporting and day-end continue to work unchanged because online orders write back into the till.
Because we would have to guess at your labor, rent, utilities, packaging and card fees to produce one, and a guessed profit number is worse than no profit number. We show gross margin on items and label it as exactly that.
Full reporting and product performance come with Complete. Advanced accounting, deeper reconciliation and group-level management reporting are part of Multi-Outlet.
