With a full-featured system like SpeedLine, it can be hard to keep track of all the reporting options. This month we take a look at the SpeedLine Sales Summary—a versatile, but sometimes overlooked, reporting tool. Extremely customizable, the Sales summary is like many reports in one: sales, labor, discounts, coupons, and more. The numbers can be viewed in a variety of formats, and exported to Excel.

Use the Sales Summary

Use the Sales Summary to compare sales or coupon use over several time periods, track labor costs, see trends in order type sales, spot unusual credit or discount patterns, and much more.

  • While viewing the table, click the expand buttons button-expand to see the numbers for shorter time periods (down to the day). Note: This report contains historical sales data, so the current day's numbers won't be included until you run Day End.
  • Have lots of table columns? On the Edit menu, click Full Screen to allow more room and reduce scrolling.
  • Need more vertical room to expand table rows? Click the Show/Hide Chart button button-show-hide-chart on the toolbar to remove the chart view at the bottom.
