Café QR features · Reports

Cash-up, staff rota, takings and reports in one place

Open the drawer with a float and close it with a count, and Café QR shows whether you are over or short. Plan the week's rota, and staff clock in and out against it. Sales reports and takings exports cover every channel, and on Multi-site, Insights and a nightly journal to Xero, QuickBooks or Sage take it further.

  • Cash-up

    Float, count, over or short

  • Reports from

    Order & Pay, £9.99 a month

  • Accounting

    Xero, QuickBooks or Sage

01

Cash-up

Open the cash drawer with its float at the start of the day. Café QR tracks cash sales at that location, takes cash refunds off, and when you close with a count it shows what should be there and any difference.

Cash sales are counted by when the order was placed, so a tab opened before the drawer and paid after it is not included. Who may open or close the drawer, and record paid in or out, is set per role by the owner.

02

Staff rota, time clock and tips

Plan the week's shifts on the rota, see planned hours and their cost, and copy last week to start the next. Staff see their next shifts, clock in and out, and start and end breaks.

Set an hourly rate per person and the time clock shows labour cost against sales. A manager can correct a shift, with a reason that is logged. Tips can be shared out by hours worked, and the timesheet downloads as CSV for payroll.

  • ✓Rota with planned hours, cost and Copy last week
  • ✓Breaks, and corrections with a logged reason
  • ✓Labour cost against sales
  • ✓Tip pool shared by hours worked
03

Sales reports and takings

Reports show revenue, order count, average order, best sellers and sales by category for any date range, each against the previous period, and which half hours are busiest. Sales split by channel: delivery apps, the till and waiters, QR and your online shop. The Today page compares takings with the same day last week, and a morning summary of yesterday can be emailed to the manager.

Leakage shows voided items by reason, and Kitchen speed shows how long tickets take, by station and by hour.

Download daily takings, online and at the till, with tips, service charge and VAT, or one row per order, as CSV for your accountant.

  • ✓Revenue, orders, average order and best sellers
  • ✓Any date range, against the previous period
  • ✓Sales by channel and busiest times
  • ✓Voids by reason, and kitchen ticket times
  • ✓Takings split into online, cash and card at the till
  • ✓Tips, service charge and VAT on every export
04

Insights and accounting

Insights adds a busy-times heatmap by weekday and hour, menu engineering that sorts dishes into stars, plowhorses, puzzles and dogs from sales and recipe cost, how guests order by channel, the repeat-guest rate and a table by location, over 7, 30 or 90 days.

Connect Xero, QuickBooks or Sage and each day's takings are sent overnight as one balanced journal, to the accounts you choose, and a day is never sent twice. You can also download the journal as a generic CSV.

05

Plans and honest limits

Sales reports and takings exports are in every plan, from Order & Pay at £9.99. Cash-up and the time clock are in the POS plan at £39, or the "Till and cash-up" add-on at £15 a month. Insights and the accounting sync are in Multi-site, or the "Insights and accounting" add-on at £8 a month; with Stock and recipes and Food safety it is the Profit & Compliance deal at £19 a month.

The accounting sync sends one journal per day, not each sale. The rota and time clock work out hours and labour cost; they do not run payroll.

Questions

Straight answers, before you start.

Visit the help centre →Ask us on WhatsApp
How does cash-up work on Café QR?+

Open the drawer with a float, and close it with a count. Café QR works out what should be in the drawer from the cash sales and cash refunds at that location and shows whether you are over or short.

Can staff clock in and out on the till?+

Staff clock in and out, and take breaks, on the time clock, which opens on any device they sign in on. It sits next to the rota, so you see planned and worked hours side by side, and the timesheet downloads as CSV.

Does Café QR work with Xero or QuickBooks?+

Yes, and with Sage. Connect your account and each day's takings are sent overnight as one balanced journal, to the accounts you choose. It is in Multi-site or the £8 add-on.

Which reports come with the cheapest plan?+

Order & Pay at £9.99 a month includes sales reports for any date range (revenue, orders, average order, best sellers, categories, channels and busiest times) and takings exports as CSV.
