Questions, answered
Know what you’re looking at.
The current dashboard is an interactive demonstration using sample sales, wage rates and time entries. Live POS integration requires separate setup and access to your data.
Paid hours exclude unpaid breaks. Gross wages include base pay and the demo’s overtime premium: 1.5× rate for hours above 40 in a Monday–Sunday week. Payroll rules should be configured for your operation before production use.
It estimates operating profit or loss by subtracting gross wages, payroll burden, goods costs, variable expenses and fixed operating costs from net sales. Results depend on your inputs. Interest, income taxes and unentered expenses are excluded.
Yes. The weekly report shows Monday–Sunday punches, breaks and paid hours, with total hours, overtime and gross wages by employee and location.
The demo supports all-location and single-location filters, date ranges, role filters, employee search and CSV export of the selected date-range time entries.
No. It illustrates the result of changes you enter. Variable costs follow sales; wages scale with paid hours at the current blended cost, while fixed costs remain constant. It does not predict demand or service impact.
Pricing and live data setup depend on your POS environment and reporting requirements. See software pricing or contact sales for a quote, and explore the sample dashboard to evaluate the experience first.
