Chapter 1. Menu Analysis
The Menu Analysis report helps you gauge a menu item’s performance relative to other menu items in its Menu Category and Sales Category. You can use this report easily compare menu item preference/popularity by Menu Category and Sales Category.
At the top, a bar chart gives you a visual representation of Menu Category gross sales over the selected reporting range.
The report can be sorted by:

Chapter 2. Modifier Preference by Menu Item
The Modifier Preference by Menu Item report shows you modifiers (either text or menu item modifiers) used by menu item. It can help you determine modifiers that are rarely used. This can help with things like inventory decisions.
If a custom modifier was entered, it will be reported here as well.
The Modifier Preference by Menu Item table can be sorted by:
|
