Revenue Centers are a means of dividing up sales and labor data, so they can be viewed individually in reports. You do this by assigning sub-categories and work departments to the centers. Learn more about those two topics here: Create a Sub-Category, Create a Work Department. Often, Revenue Centers coincide with site Divisions, which are one or more POS stations in distinct physical locations. Learn more about Divisions here: Manage Divisions. Revenue Centers must be created in Manager Console before they can be assigned.
