Understanding revenue centers 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. When you configure revenue centers from the Mews POS web dashboard and connect them to outlets, you can see data from the revenue centers on reports.

What are revenue centers and outlets

You use revenue centers primarily for reporting purposes. Revenue centers collate all revenue into the segments you define. You connect revenue centers to outlets.

 

When you connect an outlet to a revenue center, the outlet issues invoices, contains order settings and printer configuration. The revenue center then aggregates revenue in separate report sections. Each outlet requires that you connect at least one revenue center to function.

 

Using multiple revenue center and outlet connections

Each revenue center can connect to one or more outlets or an outlet can connect to one or more revenue centers. For example:

•  You define a rooftop bar outlet and a lobby bar outlet under a “bars” revenue center, or
•  You define a spa outlet under both your “bars” revenue center and your “restaurant” revenue center.

 

This gives you flexibility to define your business operations in a way that best works for you.
