NewFP&A Executive · Product Sales
Know which dishes move your sales.
Start with the whole business, then one brand, one menu group, one product — and see whether a new dish brought in extra sales or took them from the rest of the menu.

The problem
Sales are up. But which dishes are doing it?
A brand's sales rise, and nobody can say whether it's more dishes sold, higher prices or a new item on the menu. A POS item report shows totals, not what changed.
And when a new dish sells well, the real question goes unanswered: did it bring in new money, or did customers just order it instead of something else?
Volume, price or menu?
Three different stories behind the same growth number — and three different decisions.
New dishes, judged by gut
A launch looks like a hit on its own sales, even when it's eating into its neighbours.
Where and when it sells
One outlet, one day part or delivery can carry a dish while the rest drag.
How it works
From the whole menu to one dish.
- 01
Every brand
Item sales, quantity, average price and how many products sold, each against last year. Pick the period once, or narrow to one menu group.
- 02
One brand
A read-out splits the change into selling more or fewer, higher or lower prices, new products and products no longer sold — it adds up to the total.
- 03
One menu group
Every product's sales, quantity, price and attach rate — how often it's on a receipt. See what's new and what came off the menu.
- 04
One dish
By outlet, dine type and day part, and quantity by hour against last year. For a new dish: did it add sales, or take them from other items?
Every figure is compared with the same dates last year. Modifiers and add-ons are left out, so you see the dishes themselves.

Every brand at a glance
Item sales, quantity, average price and products sold, each against last year — then a watchlist of brands. Click one to open it.
Why the brand moved
Selling more, higher prices, new products, products dropped — split out. Then each menu group, and every product in it with its attach rate.
Inside one dish
Where it sells and when: by outlet, by dine-in, delivery and takeaway, and by day part.
Did the new dish add sales?
VAL compares the rest of the menu group with what it would have sold, using the weeks before launch and last year's pattern. It names the likely substitutes, and says how confident it is — or that it can't tell.

What feeds it
The item lines your POS already records.
Read from your POS
Every item sold on a receipt, outlet by outlet. It never changes them. Voids, cancellations and add-ons are left out.
Your menu, grouped your way
Your POS menu categories are mapped once to a handful of groups — coffee, bakery, mains, drinks.
As fresh as your feed
Where your item feed runs daily, you see up to the latest day loaded, usually yesterday. Growth fills in once a full year of history is loaded.
It needs item-level sales from your POS. A daily collection report alone doesn't carry the dishes.
