WHAT YOUR VOIDS & DISCOUNTS

ARE TELLING YOU

Week's sales: £20,000
Voids: £300
Discounts: £500

Voids: £300 ÷ £20,000 = 1.5% of sales
Discounts: £500 ÷ £20,000 = 2.5% of sales

 

On its own, that number tells you very little.

The real check is by team member.

If the teams average at 1.5% voids and one person is coming in at 3%, then there's some investigating to do.

It might be a training issue or it may be void performed after payment with the cash kept.

 

Run the till report by team member every week

and compare team members to one another.
