Revenue analytics dashboard – Help Center

Use this dashboard to better understand your venue's financial data. It visualizes your net revenue, breaking it down by sales channels, product types, reporting categories and online sales channel. It helps you see how your venue is performing financially, and make strategic decisions to drive business growth.

This dashboard is the default dashboard for all venues, and is based on the accrual method of accounting. If you're using the cash accounting method, see the guide Funds received dashboard in Analytics and how to set it as the default dashboard.

FAQs

Why do net revenue figures for online sales differ between dashboards?

The Online checkout revenue dashboard only includes payments made online (eg party deposits), excluding payments made later at POS. It measures average online order size for products purchased online.

The Revenue analytics dashboard includes the total booking value of transactions initiated via the online checkout sales channel, even if the remaining payments were completed in other sales channels.

This is why figures may not match when comparing the same month.
