profile analysis
The profile analysis is a powerful graphic evaluation programme with which you can secure and optimise your business success. For this, a coordinate cross shows which are their most successful articles (and vice versa).
this is how the profile analysis works...
Based on the bookings from the Hypersoft POS system, the mPOS and the webshops etc., you automatically receive valuable analyses. The profile analysis gives you evaluations of the sales significance and sales speed and shows the earning power. Through this analysis you can and should optimize the selection of your offer.
Best practice by optimising your offer with the profile analysis
Unfortunately, in practice we still find very extensive and diverse menus. Know that you are more likely to be successful with high quality from a smaller selection than offering many different things. It is not only much easier and more successful in practice, but also more authentic for your guests. It can hardly succeed in conveying competence with a particularly wide spectrum. Rather work on "The best..., biggest..., tastiest..., hottest... or perhaps healthiest "xyz" far and wide", because that is certainly worth more than trying to beat the menus of five competitors by offering something comparable to all of them.
But even with offers that are already optimised in terms of size, you should, for example, carry out a profile analysis every six months to optimise your offer and proceed as described below. It has proven effective in practice to regularly conduct a profile analysis and to take the appropriate measures based on the results. In extreme cases, this can lead to certain items being removed from your range, or to recipes and prices being adjusted, for example. In order for all this to succeed, the purchase prices should be stored with the articles.
Carry out the profile analysis
In the Graphical Evaluations area of the Report Manager, you can choose profile analysis.
Basically it is possible to filter according to categories or items.
The fewer items compared, the more meaningful the graphic. Optionally the 3D display can be switched off to increase the overview of many data.
You can restrict the list to those items in the item master that currently have the properties "saleable" or "info item" using the Only POS Items switch.
Sort by item number is an option to select the items in the list.
Make the settings and press View.
The analysis is calculated and appears:
When you press View, the print preview appears. This consists of the graphic and an additional table display. Example calendar week 35 and 1. until 27. September:
The coordinate cross is calculated for each evaluation. It always refers to the selected period and the contained item bookings. However, the positioning with regard to the four areas is essential.
New items are often added to the assortment without listing existing ones. With this analysis, you can decide more safely and easily which items to force and which to give up.
Of course, our consideration and conclusion are only one example that you supplement and change with your experience and knowledge about your company.
