5-Out is designed to day-to-day sales with precision. However, if you have a large catering order or event that we would not know about, you should manually add that total amount to the day's forecast by following the steps described below.
NOTE:
You can add an override the same day if needed, but you are unable to add an override for a previous day since 5-Out is designed to be forward-looking. That said, overrides do not inform our Machine Learning, they are simply available to help you stay accurate.
Log in to 5-Out
Navigate to the Forecasts tab by clicking the arrow icon second to the top on the right side menu
Select an appropriate date range at the top:
Scroll down to the third module and click "Edit" next to the date you plan to change:
Fill in the following information:
Baseline Override: defaults to your forecast, but should be changed to $0 if you are closing your location for an event
Events Override: defaults to zero, but should be changed to the event total $ if you are closing your location for an event
Reason: Note why you are changing the forecast
