Daily Sales Report

The Daily Close Report shows a complete summary of all sales, payments, and transactions for a single business day (or daily close).
It combines all individual Server Reports and provides a full accounting of the restaurant’s sales, payouts, taxes, comps, and payment types.
This report is most often used to reconcile deposits, verify totals before submitting data to accounting, and review daily sales activity by category and server.

  • Each of the important number are color coded to help find easily

The organization and sections of this report may vary by location.

Admins can choose which parts appear, the order they display, and which are required for the report to calculate correctly.

Understanding the Calculation Flow

The Amount Due section at the bottom of the report reflects all the day’s financial activity rolled up from every server close.
It uses the same basic structure as a Server Report but totals all transactions systemwide.

To Find Amount Due

The Amount Due on the Daily Close Report represents the final net cash total for the entire business day.
This total reflects all sales activity, adjustments, payouts, taxes, and tips collected from every server’s shift.

The formula used in the Daily Close Report is:

+ Net Sales
+ Non-Sales Transactions
– Payouts
+ Charges
+ Tax
– Comps (included in sales)
– Cash Paid (when applicable)
+ Cash Received (when applicable)
+ Tip Refund (when applicable)
– Tips & Gratuities (claimed tips from payments, charged gratuities, and online gratuities)
– Non-Cash Payments
= Total Amount Due (Net Cash)

Example from the above report
Net Sales:                                   $2,241.15  
Non-Sales Transactions:                -70.00  
Payouts:                                           -70.00  
Charges:                                            85.12  
Tax:                                                   172.35  
Comps (Included in Sales):            -63.84  
Tips & Gratuities:                          -292.51  
Non-Cash Payments:                  -1,797.58  
-------------------------------------
Total Amount Due (Net Cash):     $531.65

How to Use This Report

  • Use the Sales and Tax Type sections to verify totals for accounting or tax submission.

  • Confirm that all Comps and Discounts are appropriate and approved.

  • Check Non-Cash Payments to ensure that credit card and online order deposits match processor reports.

  • Verify that Payout Details include clear manager notes for each entry.

  • Confirm Tip-Out Logs match what’s been recorded in the payroll or POS system.

  • Compare the Amount Due at the bottom of the report to the actual cash deposit.

  • If discrepancies exist, use the Server Reports from the same date to isolate which shift or employee contributed to the imbalance.
