PULSE vs POS reports

Sales are only half the picture.

Your POS is great at what it does — recording sales. But the numbers that decide whether a shift or a month made money live outside it.

	Your POS reports	PULSE
Sales & product mix	Excellent — that’s its core	Reads the same POS data, by venue/shift/daypart
Food cost	Not tracked — the POS never sees invoices	From your invoices, matched to recipes
True labor cost	Hours at best, no payroll burden	Burdened labor vs sales, live, as you schedule
Cash position	Not its job	QuickBooks-backed cash flow + cash-out reconciliation
Across locations	One report per POS login	One Head Office rollup and side-by-side compare
What it means	Numbers, no verdict	Prime cost, margins, alerts when something drifts

When the alternative is enough

If all you need this week is what sold, your POS report is the right tool — no need to open anything else. PULSE is for the moment you need cost, labor and cash alongside those sales to know if you actually made money.

Where PULSE fits

PULSE sits on top of your POS (Auphan or Clover) and adds the half it can’t see — food cost, burdened labor, cash and a group view — so your sales finally connect to profit.
