    Hi 

    Recently activated POS interface and have been experimenting with this Revenue Potential report; unfortunately I am uncertain why the unit potential, Total Potential and Cost % columns are not populating,  however unit cost, usage and total cost appear to be fine;

    Hi Steven Barath,

    Thank you for your query.

    As per the table below Fig.3 above, the Unit Potential is populated based on the values entered in Accounting > Budgets > Maintain Revenue Potential.

    Once those values are entered, the report will display them as well as be able to calculate Total Potential and Cost %.

    Please let us know if you have any further questions on this report.

    Best

    Hi David;

    please help me better understand the function of Revenue Potential report.  I am probably having an expectation different from how the current config is.  I would expect that once the POS data is imported into adaco, i wouldn't have to enter sales again.  

    is there another report that auto populates and shows cost %

    Hi Steven Barath,

    This report is designed to calculate the potential, or optimal perfect-world, revenue that can be realized from a given item, e.g. 750ml bottle of liquor where the standard pour is 50ml would allow for 15 servings at $10 selling price/serving = $150 potential revenue; it does not take into account POS revenue.

    A couple other reports that show Sales and Costs are:
    You can review and assess which reports best fit your business needs; if you have any specific questions on those reports, please ask as you've done here.

    Hey David,

    that explanation re the Potential Report make much more sense to me now.  Having explored the Menu Engineering Report for this exercise  i am working with a Retail Outlet "gift shop" which uses only product numbers not recipes

    the sort options contribution margin and sales mix percentage are very helpful, i use the calculate based on Average Actual Unit Profit.  it very quickly hi-lights items that are incorrectly priced

    Thanks Again
