How to create a revenue center in Mews POS

In Mews POS, you use revenue centers to identify and separate different revenue streams for accounting purposes. Staff use revenue centers and outlets together to define revenue sources when taking orders. Revenue centers categorize revenue streams for more precise financial reporting and analysis for your reports. Each revenue center can connect to one or more outlets or an outlet can connect to one or more revenue centers. As an admin user, you create revenue centers yourself in the Mews POS web dashboard, without contacting Mews support. When you configure revenue centers there and connect them to outlets, you can see data from the revenue centers on reports.

To create a revenue center in Mews POS:

1. In Mews POS, go to the main menu > Settings > Operations.

2. Click the Revenue centers tab.

3. Click Add revenue center. The revenue center side-window opens.

4. Fill in the following details:

   • Name: Enter the name of the revenue center.

   • Default covers: Enter the number of covers that Mews POS defaults to when you open a new order using this revenue center.

   • PMS code: If you use a property management system, or PMS, integration other than Mews Operations, enter the revenue center code used in your PMS.

   • Enable revenue center: Click to enable the slider switch and activate the revenue center.

   • Outlets: Click to select all outlets you want to use with this revenue center.

     Note: If you connect a single revenue center to multiple outlets, when staff process a new order, Mews POS asks the user which outlet the order should go through. This choice determines which outlet issues the invoice and where the receipt prints, but Mews POS attributes the revenue to the revenue center you configure.

5. Click Create.

This creates a revenue center in Mews POS.

The new revenue center appears in the Revenue centers list. To edit it later, click the revenue center in the list and click Edit. Use the Enable revenue center slider switch to enable or disable a revenue center without deleting it.
