You can integrate your VisualTouch POS to pull your actual sales and labor data into 7shifts.
Adding the integration
Actual Sales & Forecasting
Once your integration has been activated, your real-time sales data will be enabled by default. 7shifts will also use those Actual Sales values to populate Projected Sales, allowing you to create schedules based on those projections. These will become more accurate over time as more data is available.
7shifts will begin pulling in your sales data into the Dashboard, Manager Log Book, Actuals Report, and the Labor Budget Tool.

Projected Sales
Now when you go to build schedules for future weeks, 7shifts will automatically look at past historical sales and insert your sales projections for you. This allows for more accurate scheduling if you're wanting to stay on budget and within your labor targets.
Actual Sales
The Actual Sales will initially be empty for the current or future days until sales start rolling in. Once the sales numbers have been pulled into 7shifts, they will be shown appropriately under those specific days.
Actual Labor
We integrate with VisualTouch POS for Actual Labor, this means that your actual labor costs will be pulled into 7shifts. Once enabled, your actual labor costs will be displayed on the Dashboard allowing you to compare Sales vs. Labor.
You'll see the labor numbers update on the Dashboard on the day you enabled VisualTouch POS actual Labor. Going forward, these numbers will be updated daily from your VisualTouch POS terminal.
