A busy day is not always a profitable one. Record what you spend and SageBizet shows what you actually made — today, this week or this month.
SageBizet Expenses is a free expense tracker that records each cost with a category, amount, date and note, and subtracts expenses from takings to show net profit for every day and any period.
Net profit is takings minus expenses, worked out for each day and for any period, so a day that looked busy but cost more than it brought in is easy to spot.
Each expense is a category, an amount, a date and an optional note — no forms to fill in beyond that — and it counts toward profit as soon as it is saved.
Expenses sit beside the sales you ring up at the POS, so takings, costs and profit come from one place instead of a till report and a separate spreadsheet.
Insights puts expenses and net profit next to the previous period and charts whether each day paid for itself.
Enter the amount, choose a category such as rent, stock, wages or utilities, set the date and add a note if it helps.
Record costs on the day they happen, including cash taken from the till, so each day’s profit is accurate.
Read net profit day by day and for any period of up to 92 days in Insights, compared with the period before.
Takings tell you how much came in. Profit tells you whether the business is working. A café can have its busiest month of the year and still lose money if rent, stock and wages rose faster. Recording expenses in the same system as sales means you see both numbers together every day, instead of finding out at the end of the quarter.
| Line | Amount |
|---|---|
| Takings | 2,400.00 |
| Expense: stock delivery | −900.00 |
| Expense: wages | −600.00 |
| Expense: electricity | −150.00 |
| Net profit for the day | 750.00 |
Net profit in SageBizet is takings minus the expenses you record, so stock you buy counts when you record the purchase as an expense. That is simple and matches cash leaving the business. To see what each item earns when it sells, add cost prices to your items and read profit by item in Insights — the same idea as cost of goods sold.
