Food & Beverage Sales Report by Location for Venues and Professional Sports Teams

    What is a Food & Beverage Sales Report by Location ? Food & Beverage (F&B) Sales Reports are considered essential performance analysis tools and are used by venue managers and financial managers to monitor key sales metrics related to F&B revenues from events/games. Some of the main functionality in this type of report is that it starts with a summary of F&B sales by category and in the main body of the report, the columns dynamically list all the games/events for the chosen time range. In the rows you find each F&B category with a roll-up to the concession/restaurant that sold them. Every row can be expanded to drill down into each F&B item. On the far right it provides a total for all the games/events as well a column (not visible in the screenshot) that displays each F&B item as a percent of total sales for that location. You find an example of this type of report below. Purpose of Food and Beverage Sales Reports by Concession Location Sports organizations use Food and Beverage Sales Reports by Concession to easily see the sales performance of F&B items by location in the venue. When used as part of good business practices in Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) departments, a company can improve its revenues and speed up decisions related to food and beverage items, and it can reduce the chances that poor performing vendors and F&B categories lead to sub-optimized sales.
