Category Reports roll up sales and margin by menu category (starters, mains, drinks, desserts). Useful for balancing your menu and spotting trends.

Overview

Every product belongs to a category (see Categories). Category Reports aggregate:
  • Sales volume
  • Revenue
  • Discounts and refunds
  • Contribution margin

Categories can be renested. Consolidate related subcategories at report time without changing menu structure.

Tips & best practices

Balance your menu on the numbers, not intuition. If starters are only 5% of revenue, that’s a menu-design signal.

Common mistakes

Do not put every item into one big “Food” category. Reports become useless. Meaningful categorisation is worth the effort.
