10 minBest for: Owners, finance teams, and auditors

Step 1

Verified starting point

Select the branch in the dashboard header, then open Reports. Detailed reports include Revenue Summary, Order Volume, Top Items, Peak Hours, Order Breakdown, Kitchen Station SLA, and Z-Report.

  • Detailed reports provide Date Range, Export CSV, and Print
  • Sessions has branch, number, actor, status, dates, reconciliation filters, and Export CSV when results exist

Step 2

Choose the report scope

Go to Reports and select the report needed for the question, then set the branch and date period. Use the same timezone, service-day cutoff, and definitions for open, cancelled, refunded, unpaid, and fulfilled orders each time.

  • Do not mix fulfillment status with payment status
  • Use the same scope when comparing branches or periods

Step 3

Export the original evidence

Apply the available filters, review the on-screen totals, then use the report's CSV export or Print control where available. Name the untouched output with the branch, report type, and period and store it under the restaurant's authorized retention policy.

  • Restrict exports to approved finance and management roles
  • Keep the original file before adding spreadsheet notes

Step 4

Reconcile the service session

Use the session reconciliation / close report for counter handoff. Compare recorded cash with the physical count, card-at-handoff with the terminal or acquirer, and online payments with SkipCash settlement. Record timing differences and investigate unexplained variance without rewriting order history.

  • Match refunds to their approval record
  • Document the person who reviewed and closed the period

Common questions

Is a DashDine export a statutory accounting ledger?

No. It is an operational evidence source. The restaurant's accounting system, retention policy, and qualified adviser determine statutory records.
