A good report is not just a single number. It is a detailed breakdown.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">First, you need the total gross sales. This is the total amount of money received from customers before any expenses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">Second, you need the payment breakdown. How much was paid in cash? How much via M-Pesa? How much via credit cards?<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">Third, you need the transaction count. How many customers did you serve? This helps you calculate your average basket size.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">Fourth, you need the details on discounts, voids, and refunds. These are the areas where money leaks. A high number of voids is a red flag.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">Fifth, you need the cash reconciliation section. This shows the expected cash versus the actual cash counted in the drawer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">Finally, you need a list of top-selling items. You need to know what is leaving your shelves fastest.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">When you have all these components, you have a complete picture.
