Shifts Report

The Shifts Report shows sales and payments according to your pre-configured reporting shifts. This report is especially informative for restaurants with distinct menus and sales periods (e.g., breakfast, lunch, dinner) who want to see a report that gauges sales performance for these times. In the Shifts Report, earnings are broken down by gross results (Sales) and net results (Takings).

  1. Log in to the Back Office using your Lightspeed credentials.
  2. Select Reports > Reports from the navigation menu.
  3. Click Shifts Report in the Sales Report section.
  4. Set the time period of the report using the calendar icon and drop-down menu in the upper-right corner.
  5. (Optional) Use the drop-down menu contained within the report to filter the results by employee or POS device.
  6. (Optional) Configure reporting shifts.
