Overview

Rudy provides quick access to sales insights through natural language questions. Users do not need to memorize commands or use technical terminology.

Usage Guidelines

• Ask one question at a time.
• Use clear timeframes such as today, yesterday, this month, last month, or this year.
• Begin with high-level totals, then ask follow-up questions for additional detail.

1. Total Sales (Revenue)

Use these questions to understand overall sales performance.

• What were the total sales today?
• How much did we make yesterday?
• What are the total sales for this month?
• How much did we sell last month?
• How much revenue did we generate this year?

2. Transactions & Checks

Use these questions to measure transaction volume and operational activity. Split-tender transactions are handled correctly.

• How many transactions did we have today?
• How many transactions did we have yesterday?
• How many transactions did we have this week?
• How many transactions did we have this month?
• How many transactions did we have last month?
• How many transactions did we have this year?

Alternate phrasing:

• How many checks were processed today?
• How many checks were processed this month?
• What was the total transaction count this month?

3. Revenue Center / Department Sales

Use these questions to compare sales across revenue centers or departments.

• What were the sales for each revenue center today?
• What were the sales for each revenue center this month?
• What were the sales for each revenue center last month?
• What were the sales for each revenue center this year?
• Which revenue center had the highest sales this month?

4. Sales by Time of Day

Use these questions to analyze sales trends by hour or meal period.

• What were our sales by hour today?
• What were our sales by hour yesterday?
• Which hour had the most sales today?
• Which hour had the most sales yesterday?
• How did sales compare between lunch and dinner today?
• How did sales compare between lunch and dinner yesterday?
• What time of day had the highest revenue today?
