Questions, answered

Does it cover modifier and combo-item sales separately?

Yes. It captures modifiers and combo items as separate line items in the Lavu report so you can see which add-ons drive the most revenue.

Can I see how an item performed week over week?

Yes. The Google Sheet tracks rank each week, and the Slack post calls out any item that moved five or more positions from the prior week, so trends are visible at a glance.

How is revenue calculated for combo items?

It uses the revenue figures Lavu records at the point of sale, so the numbers match your Lavu reports directly and no separate calculation is applied.
