Waste items can only be removed on the Point of Sale (POS) waste tracker for the current day. You can remove items from the waste tracker ticket the same way you’d remove items from a guest’s check.
To change the waste reason of an item added for the current day, open your food waste check on your POS device (Mode > Waste Tracking). Select the item you’d like to edit, then select a new food waste reason.
xtraCHEF filters out food waste data so that it doesn’t affect net sales. In addition, xtraCHEF depletes waste items from inventory counts.
Please contact your vendor to ensure that they’re properly handling your food waste data. For more information, check out the developer guide.
No. Printing your food waste data from your terminal is not currently available. All food waste entries are shown in the Food Waste Breakdown Report in Toast Web.
No, the total daily retail value of food waste items is not included in the Sales Summary report since the inventory was not sold. You should review food waste data on the Food Waste Breakdown report (Reports > Menus > Food waste breakdown).
At this time, emails of the Food Waste Breakdown report cannot be scheduled for automatic delivery.
At this time, Food Waste Breakdown is only able to track the sales values of items marked as food waste on the POS. If you’re looking for advanced functionality like cost, forecasting, ingredient- and recipe-level data, you can integrate with an inventory management solution like xtraCHEF.
