QuickBooks figures are cash basis — no A/R in a retail business. Your CPA's statements are accrual, so their net income will differ by the change in accounts payable, not by an error. Cash basis does not show what you owe suppliers.
Business health — days of cash
This Month — Actual & Projected
Same-Store Sales — Is the Growth Real?
Only stores with a full prior-year baseline. Store count grew 1→6, so total revenue growth alone can't answer this.
Net of Weather
Cash Cycle — Month-End Balance
Seasonal businesses live and die by the trough, not the peak.
Cash Forecast — Projected Month-End Cash
Store Scorecard — Trailing 4 Weeks
Ranked by net sales. SPLH = sales per labor hour (productivity). Comp % vs the same 28 days last year.
Monthly Revenue by Store / Channel
Net sales stacked by location — band height is the total; each color is a store/channel. You can see stores come online over time and the seasonal summer peaks.
Pints Sold
Units, not dollars. Any SKU named "Pint" (a standalone pint or a flavor's pint size). Wholesale/catering pints show on their own line, so retail vs wholesale splits out.
Now & Later Attach Rate
% of tickets that pair a single scoop with a take-home pint. Now & Later launched Sept 1 as a discount on that pairing, not a separate item, so it shows up here rather than as its own SKU. "Incl. split visits" also counts a scoop and a pint bought on separate tickets within 30 min on the same card (~92% of sales are card; cash can't be linked). Target: 15% of transactions.
Catering & Events — Pace to +$200K New
By Store — Latest Month
Margin View
Ratio-of-sums — the trustworthy read, not noisy single months.
Expense Mix — Where Every Dollar Goes
Avg Spend per Transaction — Weekly
Net sales ÷ transactions, last 12 complete weeks.
Ingredient & COGS Cost — Weekly
% of net sales, last 12 complete weeks.
Leakage — Waste & Discounts
Spoiled inventory and discounting both cut margin quietly. % of sales, last 12 complete weeks.
Labor Productivity — SPLH & Scheduling
From Boom Town's per-employee hours (the only source of labor hours — Square logs none). SPLH = net sales ÷ actual hours. Scheduled vs worked shows over/under-staffing.
Kitchen Production Efficiency
Weekly output per labor hour from the kitchen. Pints/hr and pans/hr are the cleanest efficiency read; kitchen labor % is vs event + wholesale sales (their 30% goal).
Labor — Store vs. HQ
Store = hourly floor staff, by store (June 2026 on). HQ = everything else (salaried + kitchen/ops not yet split out). The latest month can read high if it's partial.
Debt — QuickBooks
Each credit card is its own line (amber); term loans are red. ⚠ Debt is the least reliable figure here — QBO is only authoritative after the monthly reconciliation, so treat an intra-month total as indicative, not final, and don't build covenant or DSCR math on it.
Square ↔ QuickBooks Reconciliation
Square retail net vs QBO "Square Sales" by month. Variance over 2% is flagged.
