// inside the report

This is what lands on your phone every Wednesday.

No promises, no brochure. This page takes one Saldo report apart, section by section, so you know exactly what you get before you send a single message.

Section by section

Five sections. A three minute read. A sharper week.

Every number below comes from one sample week for an illustrative restaurant, Warung Sari Laut. This is how we work with yours.

01
The snapshot

The four numbers that decide your week: revenue, food and beverage cost, labour, and net margin. Each one compared against your own history, not an abstract industry average.

What it caught that weekRevenue up 44% on the prior week. Without the comparison, that just feels "busy". With it, it is the best week on record, and worth studying.

02
The cost read

Actual COGS against target, broken down to the supplier and item level. This is where margins usually leak quietly, and where the leak gets caught.

What it caught that weekOne supplier's seafood price dipped that week. The report recommended locking those rates in for four weeks before they climbed back.
Cost by category
Seafood28.1% ↓
Meat31.4%

Beverage34.2% ↑

03
The labour read

Hours worked against revenue earned, night by night. Not just a staff cost total, but when your team is earning and when it is standing around.

What it caught that weekSaturday nearly ran out of service capacity at peak. One extra server from 6–10pm costs little against the risk of fumbling the busiest night.

The flags

Anything that spiked, drifted, or looks wrong, flagged the same week. Most expensive restaurant problems start as one small odd number, three months before they hurt.

What it caught that weekBeverage cost up 2 points with no matching rise in beverage sales. Likely over-pouring or a stock gap, cheaper to check now than at stocktake.
Flags this week
Beverage cost 34.2%, up from 32.1%. Beverage sales flat. Check pours & stock.
Produce supplier invoice missing. COGS may shift ±0.4%.

05
The actions

The section that pays for everything. Three to five specific instructions for the period ahead, written from your data, not from a textbook. If you only read one section, it is this one.

Why this is differentDashboards stop at "your beverage cost went up". An analyst continues: why, how much it matters, and what to do Thursday morning.
This week's priority actions
01Lock current supplier seafood rates for four weeks.
02Add one server to the Saturday roster, 6–10pm.
03Stock the seafood dish for 20% more covers next Saturday.

The result in numbers
39.3%

Net margin in the sample week, the best on record, with food and labour costs on target.
