Packaging is its own line on the P&L. Answer "No" only if you truly buy none — otherwise a month with no packaging on your invoices or recipes is flagged as missing, so the profit is never shown as if boxes were free.

Each goal shows the UK benchmark range for context. The ranges never change a figure; your own goals do, as above.

Each setting, what it is now and where it came from. How many pounds of break-even rest on each one is not worked out yet, so none is shown.

Sales — what H1 records (POS quick sales, table bills, the customer app & website) plus the takings you enter from another POS such as Tebi. Net of VAT, service and tips, with refunds taken off on the day they were given. Stripe test payments and sales marked “not a real sale” never count.
Team costs — live from clock-ins on the rota; approved shifts use the rate they were approved at.
Food costs — expected cost from your recipes × what actually sold; invoice-accurate costs arrive with Supplier invoices & prices.
Running costs — your register on the Costs & loans tab, drafted from bank statements, approved by you.
Loans — from the offer-letter terms; repayments dated, interest counted as a cost, repaid capital not.
Forecast — takings follow your last 4 full weeks by weekday, including VAT and after card fees; bills, wages, PAYE and VAT land on the days they leave. Settings come from Xero where it has them.

Enter the amount as it's actually billed — quarterly rent as the quarterly figure — and the monthly equivalent is worked out. "Verified" means checked against the bank, not a guess. VAT: set each bill's rate so the VAT estimate can reclaim it — bank-statement amounts include VAT, and client entertaining is never reclaimed.

Enter the terms off the offer letter — the monthly figure is the lender's, we never re-derive it. Interest-free loans: APR 0.

An invoice becomes a bill the moment it is accepted in the review queue — every line decided. The push happens in the background, so Xero being slow or down never holds up an accept. A bill carries every line the supplier printed, including ones the review queue rejected: rejecting a line means "do not take a price from this", not "we did not buy it". If the lines do not add up to the printed totals, or a VAT rate is one we will not guess at, the bill stops here and says why — a wrong figure in the accounts is worse than a missing one. A line with no rate printed is not a guess: the printed VAT total, less what the labelled lines account for, is the VAT on those lines, and when exactly one rate (0%, 5% or 20%) reproduces it the bill carries that rate. When the totals do not settle it, it stops.

Connect the venue's bank account and H1 reads the balance and every transaction directly from the bank, read-only, through TrueLayer. Nothing can be moved or paid from here. Banks ask you to renew the connection every 90 days; H1 says when that is due. Syncing is automatic: every hour from 06:00 to 23:00, plus 05:30. "Sync now" only pulls it sooner.

Latest transactions

No transactions yet. They arrive with the first sync after you connect, and every morning after that.

Matching is next: card payouts, supplier bills, payroll and cash banked will be paired with the bank line they landed as, so the Financials stop guessing and start reconciling.

Only card payments taken through H1 appear here. Tebi's card settlements come from Tebi.

Payouts land a few days after the sale, so a week of payouts won't equal a week of sales.

Each row is ONE credit on the bank statement. Tap it to see what composed it: the charges, the refunds and disputes taken out, and the exact fee Stripe kept. "Matched" = every line traced to a counter order, a table bill or a POS refund in this system; anything left to check says why. Only paid payouts count towards Net to bank. "In bank ✓" with a day means the bank feed has booked that payout (paired under Financials › Bank, by rule or by hand). Fees carry no reclaimable VAT — they never change the quarterly VAT bill (confirm treatment with the accountant). Syncs itself nightly.

Every invoice this venue has received, with the lines it produced, what H1 learned from it and the document it came on. To decide a line, open the invoice and press Review it.

Write to a supplier and their reply lands on the same thread. Anything invoice-shaped they send still files itself under Invoices; a mail nobody could place on a thread waits in Unassigned.

Drop a backlog of invoice PDFs or photos. They upload in about a minute and are then read one at a time in the background — roughly a minute each, so fifty files take most of an hour. You can close this page; the reading carries on. Nothing auto-applies from an upload: nobody sent it, so every line lands in the review queue for a person to decide.

Each list shows on the staff home screen and at /checklists for the roles you choose. Daily lists reset at 05:00, so a close that runs past midnight stays on the same day. Weekly lists and deep cleans run Monday to Sunday. Every tick is stamped with who and when.

Trading days (a close after midnight belongs to the day before). Tap a run to see each task with who did it, how late, and the reason given; a reading with its range and what was done when it was out of range; any amendment a manager made after sign-off, with the note. ✓ means the sealed record still matches its hash.

A signed list, its tasks and its events are kept at least two years and never deleted by H1.

Unpaid breaks are deducted from paid hours automatically when someone clocks out without recording one (the timesheet shows a note, and you can still change it before approving). Paid breaks sit in the book for compliance and deduct nothing. If several rules match a shift, the one with the longest minimum shift wins.

e.g. Pizza chef · Waiter · Bartender · KP. Positions are a rota role — name, colour, department. Click a position to edit or archive it.

Tap a person to edit their name, email, access, positions, or to deactivate them. Each person signs in with their own login — every checklist tick, stock count and clock-in then carries their name. Access is their role; what each role can open is set below. Positions are what they're rostered as.

Where staff land after signing in is under Settings › POS.

Each person's contract — zero hours, part time or full time — and their hourly rate as it stands today. Edit employment changes it. Use Pay history for a rise or promotion that starts on a date, and Leaving date when someone moves on — their hours and payslips stay exactly as they are, they just come off the rota. Change pay raises, cuts or promotes someone through the proper approval trail — separate from Pay history, which is a direct record with no approval step.

Every pay change still open: approve it, give the second approval, apply it once approved, or reject or cancel it. A pay cut waits for the person to sign their letter on their staff home.

On the staff app, clocking out asks for a short note on the night (a POS clock-out never needs one). The notes feed the Manager reports section and are never shown with anyone's name attached.

A price the ledger could not turn into a cost, with the reason it gave, and every invoice read but not yet decided. Nothing here guesses a figure: open the invoice to see what each line would set, and only an accept moves a cost.

This queue is the human check on prices: the review, the apply. Ordering lives on the Ordering page — Alex's suggested basket, send, and receive against the order — and Invoices under Suppliers is the filing cabinet. The analysis of what this queue produces is under the Analysis chip above: supplier spend, price movement, Alex's savings and invoice truth today; food cost % and forecast accuracy when their data is in.

Net invoiced spend per supplier, share of the total, and the trend against the same length of time before. Dated invoices only; credit notes are not spend.

Per supplier and product, from the price ledger only. An item needs two dated invoice prices to appear; £ impact is the move times what you bought in the last four weeks.

What Alex flagged as cheaper at another supplier when it built each basket — the same product, the same price basis, from the price ledger — and, on the days the basket was shown, what happened to those lines.

Every document that arrived by email in the period, how far it got, and whether we knew the sender.

Orders delivered in the period against the invoice reconciliation linked to them. "Matched in full" is every ordered line on the invoice in at least the ordered quantity and no invoice line the order did not have. A line the invoice printed no quantity for, or printed in a unit that is not the pack it was ordered in, was never compared with anything: those orders are counted under "Could not check", never as a full match.

By week, by category, against target. This panel arrives with George's purchasesFromInvoices on fin-food-cost and will read that — it does not compute a food cost of its own.

Forecast covers against what the POS recorded, by weekday. The forecast only trusts a day where every table recorded its party size, and the POS began doing that on 13 September 2026. A weekday needs three of those days on record before a number is forecast at all, so the first day with both a forecast and an actual to compare lands around Saturday 4 October, the other weekdays in the week after. A per-weekday figure worth reading needs four weeks of that — late October. Until then this card stays, rather than a panel of "unknown".
