📈 Monthly history

Where do these reports come from?

QuickBooks → Profit & Loss

Reports → Profit and Loss
Set the date range, then Export → Export to CSV

It already has Wages, Payroll taxes and Benefits — the tool reads them automatically.

Toast → Sales Summary

Reports → Sales → Sales Summary
Set the same date range → Export (downloads a .zip)

Drop the whole .zip in — the tool pulls Net sales and Tips out of it.

Why subtract tips? Card tips are collected from customers and paid back out through payroll, so they ride along inside the QuickBooks Wages line. They're not your cost — pulling them out is what turns the "book" number into your real labor cost.
