Daily summary email

When you close for the day you get an email with how it went, without opening Kitchfly. If something important happened (a cash drawer shortage, a lot of voids, a high cost), it comes first, in the Heads up box.

Daily summary on a phone

What's in it

  • The day in 4 numbers: sales (vs. the same day last week and the average of the last 4), orders and average ticket, food cost and labor.
  • Sales: by channel (dine-in, online, table QR), by payment method, tips, busiest hour, best sellers and slowest movers.
  • Cash drawer: the close, expected vs. counted, and who opened and closed.
  • Money that went out: discounts, comps and voids (with who approved them), refunds and waste.
  • Operations: 86'd dishes, kitchen times, the prep list and reservations.
  • For tomorrow: reservations, ingredients below minimum (with a link to Suggested order) and what's left to prep ahead.
  • Today's alerts: the smart alerts that went off.

The subject line tells you without opening it: Downtown · Fri, Oct 2: $2,133.50 (▼ 16%) · 1 alert.

When it arrives

It goes out as soon as the last cash drawer is closed after the time you choose (6:00 p.m. by default). If you close a drawer after lunch and open again for dinner, it waits for the last close.

If nobody closes a drawer, it arrives no later than the cutoff time (11:30 p.m. by default). If you close late at night, set a cutoff like 1:00 a.m.

It isn't sent on days with no sales, unless you turn that on.
