About live sales data
Square for Restaurants allows you to see real-time data for your sales during service with the live sales report.
Live sales provides details about open bills, as well as total sales that includes an overview of closed bills. You can use this data to analyse daily sales performance and inform staffing decisions during service.
Before you begin
The Live Sales report considers open and closed bills for sales made during your working hours. You can adjust your working hours from Account & Settings > Businessinformation > Locations in Square Dashboard.
The live sales report shows the performance of a shift in real time.
