The Stock Sales report provides a view of merchandise and food & beverage sales over any date range.
For each stock product it shows quantities sold, what guests paid, what each item cost the venue, and how much profit and margin were made so you can judge how well your stock is performing.
Available on all plans.
What is this report used for?
Use the Stock Sales report to answer questions like "how much am I making on this item?" and to support operational decisions about your merchandise and F&B menu.
For example, you might use it to:
- Identify higher-margin products to promote.
- Spot lower-margin items where a discount would eat into profit.
- Compare F&B and retail/merchandise performance over a chosen period.
- Review unit price, unit cost, and margin trends to inform decisions around pricing.

Make sure the report shows accurate data
For the Stock Sales report to be useful, the underlying stock products need to be set up correctly. Without an accurate cost of goods value, profit and margin in this report will be misleading. And without the Food & beverage classification, items won't appear under the correct stock type.
Enter the cost of goods on each stock variation
- From Venue Manager, go to Products > Stock.
- Select the stock product you want to update.
- Scroll to the Stock details section.
- For each stock variation, check or enter a value in the COGS field.
- Select Save.
Ensure food and beverage products are classified
For F&B items to be reported under the Food & beverage stock type, each product needs to be labelled accordingly.
- From Venue Manager, go to Products > Stock and open the product.
- Scroll to the Additional options section.
- Ensure the checkbox next to Food & beverage is selected.
- Select Save.
Frequently asked questions
Only stock products appear in this report. Non-stock products (tickets, memberships, etc.) are reported elsewhere. If a stock product is missing, check that sales fell within the selected date range and that the product has not been archived.
For F&B items to be reported under the Food & beverage stock type, each product needs to be labelled as this type in the product setup. See the section Ensure food and beverage products are classified to learn how to do this.
No. The cost of goods recorded against each sale is the value that was set at the time of the sale. Changes to COGS only affect sales made after the update.
Stock Sales is an operations view of stock-only sales like quantities, revenue, cost, profit, and margin. Detailed Product Sales is a revenue and recognition report used by finance teams to validate how sales tie to payments and when revenue is recognised.
Refunds, voids, and booking cancellations do not appear in the report (if you cancel the entire booking or booking items, those sales won't appear in the report). Bookings paid by gift card will appear in the report.
No. Discounts applied to sales are not taken into account in this report.
This depends on your venue and whether you've set it up as inclusive or exclusive.
- If your venue is set up as tax-inclusive: Unit Price = $10 (price contains tax), the report shows $10.
- If your venue is set up as tax-exclusive: Unit Price = $10 (tax not included), the report shows $10.
