What is a Flash Report?

A Flash Report—a Rapid Assessment of Sales, Costs, and Profitability—provides restaurant owners with a real-time snapshot of their financial performance. Unlike monthly reports, these daily or weekly updates allow you to track critical metrics and make immediate adjustments to drive profitability.

Key Metrics Include:

  • Daily Sales: Monitor food and beverage revenue.

  • Cost of Goods Sold (COGS): Track real-time food and beverage costs.

  • Labor Costs: Manage wages, tips, and overtime expenses.

  • Profit Margins: Compare revenue against costs to optimize profits.

  • Other Insights: Identify trends in customer traffic, average check size, and operational expenses.

The report consolidates key data into a clear, one-page snapshot, allowing you to identify changes in prime costs and take action immediately.
