The Sales Overview rolls up your sales reports into one where you can see overall trends in such things as gross sales, net sales, average ticket size, and amount collected for a selected time period. Clover Reporting allows you to filter your data by time period, employee, order type, source of order, and by Clover device. All of the categories, filters, and terms used in this report are defined here to make sure you’re interpreting them correctly.

Sales Summary is a more detailed version of the Sales Overview report. It breaks down the time period side-by-side in a numerical format. This is useful to discover your peak periods—either during the week or even over the course of a single day. It also gives you a snapshot of key numbers like average ticket size, amount collected and net sales with trends for each.
Reduce your overhead costs by forecasting your staff needs. You can do this by identifying your peak periods and how customers are preferring to purchase from you. Customer pickup, for example, often requires less staff than full-serve.

Items Report tells you which of your products sell the best. Top 5 Items (pictured above) shows your top sellers with a year-over-year comparison, and you can dive deeper from here.
You can apply filters to this data to determine which classes of products perform best (for example, wine versus beer), which products had the most returns, or which products sold…but at a steep discount?
