Evidence & Reports
Know what happened, what leaked, and what needs action.
Perko turns the operating day into owner evidence: sales, labor, stock, exceptions, and close‑ready records.
The evidence gap
After the shift, the owner needs to know: what was sold, who worked, where the money went, what leaked, and what needs action today. Without connected records, the answer is a reconstruction.
Daily snapshot
- Sales total
- Gross sales, net after discounts, voids, and refunds — tied to every order.
- Tender breakdown
- Cash, card, contactless, stored value — each tender reconciled to the penny.
- Average ticket
- Per‑channel and per‑hour breakdown. Spot patterns, not just totals.
Money
- Revenue per category
- Beverages, food, retail — your categories, your breakdown.
- Discount and void audit
- Every discount and void is attributed to a staff member, a reason, and a timestamp.
- Tender reconciliation
- Expected vs. counted per tender type. Discrepancies flagged before close.
Labor
- Scheduled vs. actual
- Who was scheduled, who showed up, who left early, and who covered.
- Labour cost
- Total hours worked, cost per hour, cost as a percentage of sales.
- Overtime and compliance
- Flagged before payday, not after.
Margin
- Recipe‑level margin
- Every sellable item shows its ingredient cost, sales price, and margin — updated when supplier costs change.
- Category margin
- Roll‑up by category, by shift, and by week. Spot which items drive profit and which leak.
- Stock variance impact
- A count variance that costs more than the threshold is surfaced on the margin report, not buried in the stock ledger.
Exceptions that need attention
- Open items
- Orders without payment, voids without a reason, shifts without a departure, counts with unexplained variance.
- Trends
- The same item short three weeks in a row? The same staff member with late arrivals every Friday? Patterns surface.
- Review queue
- Prioritised by financial impact. The owner reviews what matters, not a flat list.
Trace and cadence
- Trace every record
- A sale drills down to the order, to the payment, to the recipe, to the stock movement. No black boxes.
- Daily, weekly, period
- Each cadence has its own review surface. Daily is about the shift. Weekly is about the trend. Period is about the books.
- Export
- CSV, PDF, and structured data export at every level. Your accountant gets what they need.
