Expense Analysis

Search and filter individual expense records by ingredient, cashier, or date.

Overview

Expense Analysis lets you drill into individual expense entries. While Financial Analysis shows summary totals and cash reconciliation, this page gives you the raw expense records — every purchase, every ingredient, every cashier.

Use this page to:

• Search for expenses by ingredient name (e.g., "Beef", "Casual Pay")
• Audit individual expense entries
• Check which cashier recorded each expense
• Verify quantities, amounts, and VAT
• Review invoice numbers and comments

TIP

This page is available to Admin users only.
