Wastage report

The Wastage report enables you to analyse your wastage for a given period. You can use the Wastage Report to view: 

• Your total wastage over time for the period
• Total wastage by product for the period
• Wastage over time for specific products, root categories, reporting categories, or wastage reasons

Wastage includes any items recorded as wastage from the kitchen and drink order screens, and any items that have been voided as stock used. 

To view the Wastage report, go into your back office and select Reporting > Stock > Wastage.

Set the required date range in the Date range field. You will be presented with a graph of total wastage over the period.

On the Itemised Wastage tab, you can view the total wastage by product for the period, ordered by the products with the highest wastage cost.

You can then see how wastage has changed over time for specific products by typing them into the Select product(s) field. 

Note: You can select up to 25 products.
