# Read the Dashboard, reports and expenses

[**Open in ChatGPT**Ask about this page](https://chatgpt.com/?q=)[**Open in Claude**Ask about this page](https://claude.ai/new?q=)

Filter the Dashboard by branch and date, read sales by payment method, order type, product and cashier, export the Products Report and record expenses.

**Quick answer**

1.  Open the “Dashboard” and choose the branch and period.
2.  Review sales, orders and new customers.
3.  Open Reports → Products Report to export or print.
4.  Record costs in Expenses → Expenses.

## Dashboard (on all plans)

1.  **Choose the branch and period.** Use “All branches” or a single branch, and choose Today, Last 7 days, This month, This year or Custom, then “Apply”.
2.  **Read the key numbers.** Sales, number of orders and new customers, each with its percentage change from the previous period.
3.  **See where the money comes from.** Sales by payment method (Credit card, Cash, Transfer) and orders by type (Dine In, Pickup, Takeaway, Delivery).
4.  **Spot your best sellers.** “Sales by products” shows the quantity and sales of each product with the change.
5.  **Compare points of sale.** “Sales by cashier” shows the orders and sales of each cashier.
6.  **Follow your customers.** The “Customers” tab shows your top customers and those who are overdue.

## Products Report (Pro)

Open Reports → Products Report. Search by product name or code to see the quantity/weight, number of orders, selling price and total sales. Use “Export” or “Print”.

## Expenses (Pro)

1.  **Create expense categories** from Expenses → Expense Categories, then “Add expense category” (such as Rent and Supplies).
2.  **Record an expense.** From Expenses → Expenses choose “Add Expense”, choose the category, cashier and payment method, and enter the amount.
3.  **Expenses recorded during a shift** appear in that cashier's session report.
