Greetings pizza shop owners. Over the last year and a half and with some assistance from Scott, Ive developed software called POSP Reports. It supplements the reports in POSPizza, with new ways to look at your sales customers, and operations data. The program installs on the POSPizza POS computer, and reports can be viewed from any PC or smartphone. The program is highly secure, using login authentication access and authorized computer ID tracking. Also worth mentioning that this is a read-only program. It is simply not capable to change anything in your POSPizza setup.

POSP Reports currently offers 28 charts and reports designed to help owners manage their business. Charts have user definable filters that allow you to customize. The easy-to-use menu interface is the anchor point to launch reports. For multiple restaurant locations, POSP Reports can be installed at each location (even the trial version), and can simultaneously view reports for all locations from a single interface.
There's a 30-day trial feature for all POSPizza customers. Install and experiment with the many reports At the end of the trial period or any time before, you may purchase the licensed version or else remove it with Windows Uninstaller.
