Hi. How can we help?

Viewing User, User X, and User Z reports

User, User X, and User Z reports summarize the POS activity of the employee currently logged in to the Restaurant POS app, such as sales and tip information. Each report covers a different time period or purpose within your business and can be printed or saved to the Photos app for viewing on the device. Continue below to learn how to view these reports and understand the information they contain.

Viewing User, User X, and User Z reports

Run a User, User X, or User Z report to print or save to the Photos app a detailed summary of POS activity for the user currently logged in to the Restaurant POS app. 

  1. Log in to the Restaurant POS app.
  2. Tap the User Profile in the navigation bar.
  3. Select Reports.
  4. Choose a type of User report to create:
    • User report: The time period of this report is based on the Opening Time set in Restaurant Manager. For example, if the opening time is set to 9:00 AM, the report will include data from 9:00 AM until 8:59 AM the next day.
    • User report X: This report covers the time between when the user last created a User Z report up to the current time. We recommend creating this report mid-shift as it is read-only and doesn't reset user data.
    • User report Z: The User Z report covers the same time period as the User X report, but it resets user data for both of those reports when you create it. We recommend creating this report at the end of a shift to get final user totals and reset those totals before the user’s next shift.
  5. Select a connected printer to print the report to, or tap Save to Photos to save a copy to the Photos app for viewing on the device.
