> Understand the Restaurant reports area and choose the right report.

Restaurant reports help managers review sales, payments, item performance, staff activity, sessions, discounts, expenses, voids, and kitchen timing.

## Report Groups

Restaurant reports are easier to use when grouped by question:

* Sales reports answer how much was sold, when, and from which source.
* Payment reports answer how money was collected.
* Menu performance reports answer which items and modifiers are selling.
* Operations reports answer how the kitchen, staff, sessions, and voids are performing.
* Adjustments reports answer what was discounted or expensed.

## Date Filters

Most reports include a date or date range. Always confirm the selected period before sharing numbers.

## Exporting

Use export buttons when a manager, accountant, or owner needs the report outside Plato.
