Map to manage inefficiencies within your food or beverage program.Map your recipes in BevSpot to sales items in your point-of-sale to be able to see variance, menu profitability, and perpetual inventory.Head to the Profitability page located under the Sales tab. Then, select a date range in the upper right-hand corner that you've had sales for (keep in mind, in order to map a particular recipe, it had to have been sold within the timeframe you select.)Then press "Run Report."After, head to the POS Data tab at the top of your screen. This will show you all of your POS IDs (think POS buttons) and if they are either mapped to a recipe in BevSpot or not. Everything on this page is data coming from your point of sale. *Reference below for column details.After, group by "Mapping Status." The menu items you need to map are in red and the ones that are mapped already are in green. Select "Unmapped" to map your POS ID to a recipe in BevSpot.You can also build the recipe from this page if you do not have a recipe for it yet. After you save it, this recipe will also show up in your recipes tab.Item mappings are a one-time process as the POS IDs will link in all future reports.POS Item name: The item name is taken directly from your POS system (this can be edited once it’s in BevSpot, but upon integration, these items will match what you see in your POS system.POS ID: The unique identifier of that POS item used in your POS system. This is how BevSpot maps Sales Items to Items from your POS system.Sales Price: This is the average sales price of this item over the selected time period.Base Sold: The number of times this POS item was sold through your POS system over the selected time period.Unit Adj.: Depending on the POS configuration, this can represent any sales items that were comped or lost in your POS system, or it can be manually adjusted in BevSpot to account for known discrepancies.Total Sold: Total quantity sold, Base sold + Unit Adjustments.$Adjustments: The dollar value of the adjustments recorded.Map Item: The mapping status of your POS Item — this is when you can click to map your POS item to the correct inventory items, recipes, and sub-recipes.BevSpot’s Tip: On the POS Data tab, group by “Menu Group” first to omit any POS items pulling into BevSpot that you do not want to include in your reports. This will make the process a lot more efficient. For example: if you are mapping your beverage account, omitting all of the food menu categories will eliminate any clutter when you’re mapping your beverage recipes. If you have additional questions or would like to learn more, feel free to schedule a training with the BevSpot team HERE.
