    Article summary

    The Location Comparison report compares the performance of multiple restaurant locations based on selected operational values. This report allows restaurant owners and managers to analyze various key performance indicators (KPIs), such as gross or net sales, guest counts, and labor hours across locations. The purpose of this report is to identify which locations are performing well and which may need improvement. By comparing locations, managers can pinpoint best practices, address underperforming areas, and make data-driven decisions to optimize operations and drive business success. Cells highlighted in yellow indicate that a location is performing below average.
