Sales report graphic with POS. Items: burgers, chicken, etc. Total: $452.62. Emphasizes accurate reporting.
Let’s say you sold 10 chicken wings, 20 chicken fajitas, and 8 chicken soup at the end of a Friday.
WISK pulls the sales data from Square to multiply it to the recipes that has chicken in them. [Product Mix x Recipes]
That data will help WISK tell how much chicken(lb.) you sold.
In this instance, you sold 16lbs of chicken.
When you did your inventory yesterday, you had 24lbs of chicken in your freezer
After you closed, you counted again and saw that you had 5lbs of chicken left in your freezer. This means that your actual usage of chicken was 19lbs.
[Beginning count 24lbs - Ending 5lbs]
You should have 8lbs left. WISK tells you that you used 3 lbs more than you actually sold in just one day.

Thanks to WISK's cost alerts, you’re notified in real-time, enabling you to adjust your price and prevent $6,000 in losses.
