Revenue reports
Three cards answer three money questions: when does revenue come in (Revenue by day), where does it come from (Revenue by location), and how do clients pay (Payment methods). Read them together and pricing, staffing, and cash-flow decisions stop being guesses.
Read the three cards
- On Reports, pick your period.
- Revenue by day charts the period day by day. Look for the shape: front-loaded weeks, dead Tuesdays, payday spikes.
- Revenue by location splits the same money by studio. This is the "is Venice paying for itself" card.
- Payment methods splits it by how clients paid: card, cash, gift card. Watch gift-card redemptions here; that's earlier money being spent.
Example. Golden Coast sees Tuesdays running at half a Saturday. They move their two newest providers to Tuesday, point the rebooking nudges' traffic at the gap by keeping Tuesday slots plentiful, and the day-by-day chart flattens within a month.
Common questions
- Why is a day's bar higher than what the desk remembers taking? The chart reads charges recorded that day, including online deposits that arrived while nobody watched the desk.
- A location shows revenue while it was closed? Online deposits and gift-card sales don't need an open door. Money can arrive on a dark day.
- Cash looks bigger than expected? Cash includes cash checkouts only; tips taken in cash aren't revenue and don't appear here.
- How do refunds show? Netted against the original charge's period. A brutal refund week shows up as the gap between gross and net, not as negative bars.
Good to know
- The day chart is the honest schedule critic: it shows what the calendar produced, not what it promised.
- Method mix matters at go-live: the higher your card share, the more processing fees the net line carries.
