The Revenue Forecast is Bar Cop's projection of what is coming, built for you and running on its own. It projects each week from a weighted average of the same weekday over your last eight weeks of sales and covers, then adds the revenue of any events you have booked that week. Build Schedule and your weekly targets read this number, so they always have a real forecast to work against without you entering anything.

1. Read this week and next

Open Revenue Recovery → Revenue Forecast. This Week and Next Week show the projected total, events included, and the Cover Goal is the guests you are projected to serve, which also feeds Build Schedule and the Pre-Shift Briefing. There is nothing to fill in or save; this page is a read-only look at what is coming.

2. Read the weeks ahead

The projection below lists the next several weeks, with the events landing in each and the labor budget that forecast sets, so you can see what is building.

3. Adjust a week the average cannot see

Know something the projection cannot, a private party, a holiday, a slow week? Book the event in Events and it flows here on its own, or set the week's number on Build Schedule when you build the schedule. Either way it feeds back automatically.

4. Watch the accuracy tighten

Each confirmed week is paired against the forecast it was projected at, with the gap in dollars and percent. Average Error is how far off you have run across the matched weeks, and Matched Weeks counts the pairs. Export PDF saves the table. Watch it tighten as Bar Cop learns your room.
