Summary
The Product Mix Report shows the breakdown of each product's sales. It is a powerful tool designed to provide insight on the best-selling and most profitable products. The pie chart shows the top 10 products, either by product profit (currently not used) or by quantity sold. There will be a large portion of the Top 10 Quantity Sold that is assigned to Other, which contains all products that do not fall in the top 10 slots.

Report Data
Once you have filtered your report and adjusted your preferences, the Product Mix Report is generated. To search for a specific product, use the search field on the top right of the report.
If you include products and modifiers in your report, the total displayed for each modifier will be the number of products with that modifier sold. If more than one modifier has been added to a particular product, the total number of products sold and the total number of modifiers sold won't be the same on your report.
For instance, if your modifier is Primo Toppings, and you sold one Bada Bing Primo size hoagie with Hot Peppers, Onions, and Broccoli Rabe, your report will show one Bada Bing Primo size hoagie sold under products and one each sold of Hot Peppers, Onions, and Broccoli Rabe under modifiers. Your modifiers add up to three, but only one hoagie was sold, so the total under products will still be one. This allows you to accurately track and compare modifier sales.

Legend
Select the Legend icon for definitions of the different colors that appear in the report.
Report Data
The various components of the report are described in detail here:
Reporting #: The reporting number is reflective of the order in which the orders were taken on that particular establishment. It is designed for clients with more than one location that require consecutive order numbers for tax purposes.
Order No.: The order number is reflective of the order in which the orders were taken on that brand. Clients with more than one location will notice that an order number may skip from 100 to 201 for one of the locations, only to find order number 101 in another. Order numbers are shared across all establishments. Sometimes order numbers may skip even in businesses with just one establishment. This is because an order had been created, but then all products were deleted and the order was cancelled on the point of sale. Revel marks the cancelled order as an order on its servers regardless, but will not display it in the order history. If you require consecutive numbering, you should rely on Reporting # instead.
Offline #: The offline number is reflective of the order number if it is processed offline. The Order No. and Offline # match the majority of the time. However, if the Order No. and Offline # do not match, it is because the internet was down when the order was opened but was then synced to the server after the internet came back up. If you see a large number of mismatched order numbers and offline numbers, please contact your internet service provider to ensure you have a strong, consistent internet connection.
Created By: Displays the employee who created the order. This will reflect the employee who was logged in at the time the order was created. If an order was taken through Revel's Online Ordering platform (referred to as OOXT), the Created By field will display atlasadmin.
First Opened: Displays the date and time the order was created.
Last Closed: Displays the date and time the order was closed. Entries will appear as N/A if the order has not been closed.
Final Total: Displays the total dollar amount of sales including the Net Sales + Tax.
Payments Total: Displays the total amount of the payments collected.
When you click an order, it opens to display all order details including a breakdown of subtotals, fees, surcharges, applicable taxes, and a detailed list of items included in the order. If you use a Customer Display Screen (referred to as a CDS) and collect signatures on the iPad, you can view the digital signature for a credit card payment by clicking the signature Link under the Payments section.

Summary
The Products tab contains all Categories, Subcategories, Products, Modifiers, and other related components such as Discounts, Service Fees & Taxes used in the database. Everything in the Products tab is maintained by DBS and pushed out to each establishment via the corporate database or EMS (Enterprise Management System). While no changes can be made under the Products tab at the franchise level, it is still important to know how this section operates and how information is programmed for your business.
From the Management Console select Products > Products.
Product Structure
Each Product in the database is created using a Category/Subcategory structure. Categories are the broadest level of your menu such as Hoagies & Beverages. These Categories are then broken down into Subcategories such as Cutlets & Specialties or Gatorade & Pepsi Products. Each product is then created under its respective Category/Subcategory. Products can also be created under multiple Categories/Subcategories if needed. For example, the Bada Bing hoagie is created under Hoagies/Cutlets however it also appears under an “Additional Category/Subcategory” called A-L. This database structure can be seen at the POS level and allows for a Product to be visible in multiple areas.
Parent & Child Relationship
Most Products in the database are created using a Parent/Child relationship known in Revel as Matrix Products. Think of the Parent Products as being the main hoagie name with all the different sizes of hoagie variations (known as Product Attributes) being the Child Products. When ordering a hoagie, the Child Product is the actual Product that is ordered (with a dollar value) which shows on the guest check and receipts, as well as the kitchen prep ticket. The Parent Product serves as a placeholder or container for the Child Products. See the example below.
Other Products that follow this Parent/Child relationship include Herr's Chips sizes, Beverage sizes, & some Deli Products. Again, while you cannot create or edit Products, it is important to familiarize yourself with this structure so you can review the available Products and their pricing.
Product Details
By selecting the blue pencil icon next to any Category, Subcategory, or Product, you are able to view all associated details. The filtering checkboxes on the left-hand side allow for filtering which details are displayed. To look for a specific Product detail, select Clear Selections then use the search field to display any related details.
Additional Product Sections
The Products tab also contains additional configuration settings related to Products and transactions at the point of sale. Depending on you access level, you may or may not have access to view certain configuration settings. Each section and its function is described below.
Products: This is the area where all of the Categories, Subcategories, & Products are maintained.
Custom Menus: This is where Categories, Subcategories, & Products are configured to be displayed or hidden on the point of sale. In the case of scanned products such as Herr's Chips, it is typical that all Products are available at the point of sale level as Product stock changes frequently. In most cases these Products are scanned and the physical point of sale buttons are only needed for phone order lookup.
Linked Combos: Used to assign an automatic pop-up to a product. For example, if you wanted a beverage choice to prompt after each hoagie selection, this section would hold the configuration settings.
Product Groups: This area allow us to create groups of products to be used in discount creation, report filtering and the building of group combos (Hoagie Trays).
Modifiers: Contains any Modifier and its associated window. These windows are attached to Products and allow you to customize orders and provide options for your customers with just a click of a button on the point of sale. For example, dressings, toppings, spices, etc.
Classes: Used to create Class Groups for reporting.
Discounts: Contains item discounts and order discount configurations.
Service Fees: Contains Service Fees or Delivery Fees that can automatically or manually be applied to a Product or order. These fees may be passed on to the business or designated as Pass Through Fees and passed on to Employees (as tips) or 3rd Parties Delivery Services (such as Grubhub or UberEats fees).
Taxes: All taxes are configured in this section and applied to Products. This section contains Tax Groups, Individual Taxes, Flat Rate Taxes, Tax Agencies, & Tax Codes. It is the responsibility of the business to review all tax rates applied to each product and which products are taxed on non-taxed.
Ingredients: Used for Inventory and building product recipes (currently not used for PrimoHoagies).
Ingredient Groups: Contains groups of ingredients to be applied (currently not used for PrimoHoagies).
Product Attributes: This contains the variations in sizes to be used for a product. For example, the attributes of a hoagie are the sizes (Bowl, Middle, Primo, Small, Whole and Wrap). These attributes are assigned to the Child Product to create the size prompt after selecting the main Parent Product.
Price Tiers: Allows for alternative Product pricing options and can be associated with a discounts, custom menus (such as Grubhub menu), and more.

Wage/Forecasting: Displays at the bottom wage totals vs actual sales for each day. You can enter the Labor Cost % Goal when selecting this option. For this example, the labor goal is set to 22%, this means the wage totals should not exceed 22% of the actual sales. If the labor cost is below 22% of sales, the color is green. If the labor cost is more than 22% of the total sales, the color will be either orange or red. You can set the rule for the minimum and maximum costs at the bottom of the screen by indicating how big the difference is from the labor goal. For example, if the labor cost is 10% more than the labor cost goal, it will be red.
Red: Labor Cost % > Labor Cost Goal, difference over X%
All Breaks: Displays all breaks for the employee.
Manually Adjusting Time Worked
There may be times you will need to adjust your employee’s hours, whether they forgot to clock in or out for the day or for lunches and/or breaks. Employees hours can be adjusted using the Time Worked Report. From the Time Worked Report, select the box for the time worked you need to edit. A separate window will appear for you to make adjustments to the employees time. You can choose to update the Start time, End Time, End Status, or Role then add a comment in the Remarks section. Additionally, new entries can be added or existing entries can be deleted. Select Save when finished.
