The Profit Forecast is a look ahead at your profit, projected from the weeks you have already confirmed. It runs two scenarios side by side: where you land at your current pace, and where you land at your cost targets. The gap between them is what cleaning up is worth.

1. Pick your window

Open Profit Recovery → Profit Forecast. Bar Cop takes your recent weekly sales and prime cost percent, holds them forward, and subtracts your operating costs. Pick Next Month, Quarter, 6 Months, or Year.

2. Read current pace against your targets

Current Pace uses your recent prime cost. At Your Targets swaps in your target prime cost from App Settings. The Target Upside up top is the profit difference, the money on the table if you hit your targets, which is exactly what Profit Fix is for.

3. Reach the true profit number

Profit here is sales minus prime cost minus operating costs. If you have not logged operating costs yet, it shows profit before operating costs and tells you so. Log them under Accounting, Operating Expenses, to get the full net number.

Every figure is a projection in whole dollars, built from your own averages. It needs a few weeks of history before it will show, and it is a planning tool, not financial advice.
