How to analyze sales from the POS Module

If you use an integrated ordering and payment system in your restaurant, POS QR menu sales reports represent one of the most valuable tools at your disposal. Through the Menivo platform, you can access centralized data about orders, products sold, total values, and consumption patterns — all automatically generated from your restaurant's daily activity. This guide explains step by step how to report and analyze sales from the POS Module integrated with the QR menu, so you can make decisions based on real data.

Why sales reports matter in the POS system with QR Menu

A digital QR menu is not just a tool for presenting dishes — it becomes an active data source when integrated with a POS module. Every order placed by a customer by scanning the QR code generates valuable information: which products are most popular, at what hours traffic peaks occur, what the average order value is, and how sales evolve from week to week.

Without a systematic analysis of this data, you risk making decisions based on intuition rather than facts. With the POS Module from Menivo, all this information is centralized and accessible directly from the admin panel.

What you need

An active account on menivo.io with a subscription that includes the POS Module
The restaurant fully configured (name, address, logo, business hours)
At least one active digital menu, with categories and products added
POS Module activated and configured — see the POS activation guide
At least a few orders processed through the system to have data to analyze
Optional: staff configured in POS for filtering by employee

Step 1: Access the Menivo Admin Panel

The first step to view sales reports is to log into your Menivo account and navigate to the section dedicated to your restaurant. From the side menu, select the restaurant for which you want to generate reports.

Go to menivo.io and log in with your account details
From the dashboard, select the desired restaurant
Navigate to the Orders section from the navigation menu
Check that the display includes orders processed through the POS Module

Step 2: Filter Orders by Period and Type

The orders section in Menivo allows you to filter and sort data to get exactly the information you need. The system manages orders with several statuses: pending, accepted, in_progress, ready, shipped, completed and canceled — each providing a clear picture of the operational flow.

Select the desired time interval (day, week, month)
Filter by order type: pickup (counter pickup) or delivery
Filter by order status to separate completed orders from canceled ones
Sort results by date, value, or number of products

This granular filtering allows you to identify, for example, how many orders were canceled in a certain period or what the ratio is between pickup and delivery orders.

Step 3: Analyze the Data of Each Order

Each order recorded in the system contains detailed information that can be accessed through individual viewing. This includes: customer name, phone number, order type, delivery address (if applicable), order time, selected products, and total value.

Click on an order from the filtered list to open it
Check the ordered products and their quantities
Note the order value and the payment method used
Analyze customer notes for operational feedback

These details are essential for understanding customer behavior and identifying the products with the highest demand. Information about payment methods configured in POS completes the financial picture.

Step 4: Identify the Best-Selling Products

One of the most valuable analyses you can do is identifying the "star" products — those dishes that generate the highest sales volume. By aggregating data from completed orders, you can build a top of products by frequency of appearance and by contribution to revenue.

Order frequency: how many orders included a certain product
Generated value: the total financial contribution of a product
Time trends: whether a product has higher sales on weekends compared to weekdays
Correlations: products frequently ordered together (an opportunity for promotional bundles)

This information allows you to optimize the digital menu and strategically highlight high-margin products. If you want to better understand how menu structure influences customer decisions, read the article about how the digital menu influences consumer behavior in restaurants.

Step 5: Monitor Staff Performance through POS Reports

If you have configured staff in Menivo's POS Module, you can analyze each employee's performance individually. The system associates orders with the staff members who processed them, providing data about the volume of orders handled and operational efficiency.

Access the staff management section in POS
Select an employee and the desired period
Analyze the number of orders processed and the total value handled
Compare performances between team members to identify strengths and areas for improvement

Step 6: Correlate Sales Data with QR Scans

A major advantage of the integrated Menivo system is that you can correlate sales data with QR code scanning statistics. Knowing how many customers scanned the code and how many actually placed an order, you can calculate the conversion rate and identify barriers in the ordering flow.

Access the QR Code section in the restaurant panel for scanning statistics
Compare the number of scans with the number of completed orders
Calculate the conversion rate: orders / scans × 100
Test menu changes (descriptions, photos, prices) and track the impact on conversion rate

Step 7: Export and Archive Reports

For proper financial management and compliance with accounting requirements, it is important to periodically export sales reports. Menivo offers Excel export functionality, which allows you to process data in external tools or send it to your accountant.

From the orders section, select the period for which you want the report
Use the export option available in the interface
Save the Excel file with a name that includes the reference period
Archive reports monthly for a clear picture of business evolution

Useful tips

Analyze weekly: don't wait until the end of the month to check the data — a weekly analysis allows you to react quickly to negative trends
Compare similar periods: compare the same week from different months or the same period from different years to eliminate seasonality
Update the menu based on data: if a product isn't selling, consider removing it or repositioning it in the menu
Use data for inventory: by correlating sales with purchases, you can reduce food waste and optimize orders to suppliers
Monitor canceled orders: a high number of canceled orders can signal an operational or communication problem with the customer
Check returns: use the guide for managing returns in POS to understand the causes and reduce them
Integrate with invoicing: associate sales data with generated invoices for complete financial reconciliation
