# Reports and Analytics Overview

> A guide to every report and analytics dashboard in oFatoura — sales, daily closing, tax, discounts, voids, refunds, reconciliation, expenses, print log, order analytics, and menu analytics.

The Reports section gives you a complete picture of your restaurant's performance — from daily sales and tax liability to voided items, cash reconciliation, staff attendance, and online menu behaviour. All reports live in the web admin under **Reports** in the main navigation.

## Permissions

Most reports require the **Show Reports** permission. Some have their own dedicated permissions:

* **Daily Closing Report** — requires the Show Daily Report permission
* **Voids and Refunds Reports** — require the View Voids Report or View Refunds Report permissions (or Show Reports)
* **Order Reconciliation** — requires the Reconcile Orders permission (or Show Reports)
* **Attendance Report** — requires the View Attendance Report permission
* **Promotions Report** — requires the View Promotions Report permission (or Show Reports)
* **Order Analytics** — requires the Show Order Analytics permission
* **Menu Analytics** — available to any logged-in user with access to the Reports area

Ask your account owner or manager to grant access if you cannot see a report.

## Common features across reports

Most reports share the same set of controls so you can quickly get to the data you need:

* **Date range filter** — pick any start and end date. Many reports also let you filter by time of day (e.g. breakfast rush only).
* **Waiter or staff filter** — narrow results to a specific team member where relevant.
* **Sort columns** — click any column header to sort ascending or descending.
* **Hide or show columns** — use the column selector to focus on what matters.
* **Consolidate by month** — collapse daily rows into monthly totals for longer date ranges.
* **Export** — download as CSV (for spreadsheets) or PDF (for printing or sharing). The Daily Closing Report also supports ESC/POS printer output.

<Note>
  Reports reflect your restaurant's configured timezone and currency. If totals look off, confirm these are set correctly under [Restaurant Information and Localization](/essential-setup/restaurant-information).
