This article applies only to the North American (NOAM) version of the Device Reports. If your business is located in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, or Australia, visit Device Reports (EMEA and Australia).

The Device Reports show sales data according to the POS device used to process the sale. These reports offer an overview of sales data for each device, including Takings, Discounts, Taxes, and more.

Use these reports if you have fixed devices at different locations (e.g., one POS device at the bar and another at the front counter) and you want to measure each station's performance and adjust the menus or staffing accordingly.
