Selling report

What the report shows
- Meal name and category
- Number of portions sold
- Price per portion
- Total revenue per meal
- Grand total for the period
- Comparison with a previous period (if available)

Reading the report
The report shows each meal's contribution to your total revenue:
| Meal | Portions | Price | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grilled chicken | 142 | 85 kr | 12 070 kr |
| Salmon | 98 | 95 kr | 9 310 kr |
| Vegetarian pasta | 56 | 80 kr | 4 480 kr |
| Total | 296 | 25 860 kr |
Meals are usually sorted by total revenue (highest first) so you can quickly see what is driving the most income.

Using the report for planning
This report is useful for:
- Menu planning — identify which meals are most popular and make sure they stay on the menu
- Revenue review — track total revenue by week, month, or quarter
- Spotting trends — notice if a meal's popularity is rising or falling
- Pricing decisions — see which meals drive the most revenue vs. volume
Example insights:
- "Salmon sells fewer portions but at a higher price — it is worth keeping"
- "Vegetarian portions have doubled compared to last quarter — consider adding more vegetarian options"
- "Tuesday always has the lowest order count — could we reduce production that day?"
Comparing periods
If your system supports it, you can compare two date ranges side by side — for example this month vs. the same month last year. This helps you see whether the business is growing or declining.
