How Toast POS Net Sales Are Calculated in 7shifts

Question

What is the formula for calculating Toast Net Sales in 7shifts?

Answer

The formula for calculating Toast Net Sales in 7shifts is:

Net Sales = (Gross Sales) - (Discounts) - (Comps)

Where:

  • Gross Sales: Total revenue from sales transactions before any deductions. 
    • By default, 7shifts excludes service charges, tips, gratuities, fees and non-revenue items (e.g., gift card sales) from Gross Sales. 
  • Discounts: Price Reductions applied to customer purchases. 
  • Comps: Complimentary items or services provided at no charge.

Items Excluded from 7shifts Nets Sales 

7shifts' default Gross Sales calculation excludes the following, meaning they are not included in Net Sales:

  • Tips
  • Gratuities
  • Fees
  • Non-revenue items (e.g., gift card sales)
  • Service Charges*

*Service Charges are excluded in 7shifts sales calculations by default. However, you can include them:

  1. Log in to the 7shifts web app as an Admin or Manager with the appropriate permissions.
  2. Go to Apps & Integrations > My Integrations > Toast Integration Settings.
  3. In the Sales tab, enable "Include service charges." 
    • ⚠️ Note: This will affect all 7shifts sales calculations, including tip pool contributions.

Discrepancies: 

Differences between 7shifts and Toast sales figures are most often due to these exclusions. Always double-check which items are included in each platform's calculations.
