The Daily Sales report compares this year's sales to sales from the previous year for each selected location. With this report, users can get a deeper look into Day Part Sales and Check Counts to better understand what is driving an increase or decrease in sales. 


This report is a more in-depth version of the Sales report and provides users with a deeper analysis than the Flash report due to the fact that it includes check count, labor, cash deposits, and the grand total. This report can even be viewed on the mobile app.


Note: Dates shown in this report are based on the operational calendar.
