The Restaurant Owner's Guide to Daily Sales Reporting (Without Expensive Software)

Описание и применение

Пошаговый рецепт создания ежедневного отчёта о продажах ресторана с помощью 50‑строчного скрипта Python, заменяющего дорогой SaaS‑сервис.

• Script parses CSV, aggregates sales, calculates metrics (total sales, category breakdown, labor % , avg check, customer count, variance, week‑over‑week)
• Email report to owners via SMTP
