Sales Forecasts - Overview
The Sales Forecasts module will allow authorized users to enter forecast data for Sales, Guests, and possibly Checks for each week throughout the year. Forecasted values can be entered for each day within a week, and forecasts can be copied from one week to one or more other weeks. When entering forecast values for a particular week, the application will provide various data to assist in this forecasting, such as budgeted sales values for the week, projected forecasts, and actual data from the previous week.
If Dayparts and Revenue Centers have been defined in Enterprise Manager, the application will also allow users to set up forecasted sales by daypart for each revenue center. The application will distribute the total forecast data by daypart from the detail screen among the revenue centers based on the percentage of historical sales (during each daypart) of all recipes sold at each revenue center. Sales Forecasts may be generated automatically based on preference settings in Enterprise Manager.
Note: This screen is not available for Cruise Lines.
