Our Report Engine hosts a set of reports which are scheduled to be emailed to certain people at specific times.

Introduction and Overview
We have over thirty graphical reports within Kobas Cloud, that cover a wide range of the areas of your business: Customers, Operations, Labour, Revenue and your Overall performance.
However, we are aware that our client base is diverse and spans all corners of the hospitality industry, and therefore a wider range of reports are needed by some aspects of our client base.
The Reporting Engine allows reports to be presented as a basic table in an email or as a Spreadsheet attachment to an email, or as a file transfer. These can be scheduled to a specific frequency and time, and have specific filters such as date/time range, and venues.
Warning: Due to regulatory and legal compliance, there may be a few occasions where your staff member doesn't receive the email and within Kobas still shows as "Pending". Read here to find out more and how this can be resolved.
Reports can only be scheduled to a person who has a Kobas staff profile and will be sent to their profile email address (unless otherwise stated). When that profile is ended, the report will stop being sent. If a venue is ended/deleted, this won't automatically stop scheduled reports.
Available reports
These reports are available to all of our clients, and if you would like the report scheduled you will need to contact the Support Help Desk with the following information:
- Which report, stating the name and the ID number (last column)
- The filters (such as date/time range, venues, etc).
- How you would like the report (in email, spreadsheet, or a file transfer)?
- When and how often you'd like to receive the report, and to what email addresses.
Warning: An administrator in your account will need to request that a report is scheduled on your behalf through an Account Manager. This allows us to ensure that reports are scheduled for those who have legitimate access to the information. If your Kobas administrators have any difficulties, they can contact the Support Help Desk.

Custom reporting
We have some limited scope to produce email reports specific to the needs of your business to some degree. There would be a cost for this service and a lead time in order to produce these. They should be discussed as part of the sales process or managed account relationship.
Please speak with your Account Manager or the Sales Team who will be able to advise on where best to get the information you require, whether a custom report could in fact deliver what you need, and our current costs and lead times.
Automated Scripts
We also have the functionality to run some automated scripts. The following are available by contacting the Support Help Desk:
| Staff Voucher Allocation | This script checks the current staff database for profile emails, it then looks at the customer database and if the emails match, it can apply those customer accounts certain vouchers. | This can run daily, weekly or monthly. We need to know which discounts, how many per staff member and the expiration date. | 60 |
| Customer Voucher Allocation | This script permits the automation of loyalty vouchers to customers. Multiple vouchers of the same discount type can be added at once | 63 | |
| Update EPoS Screen Message | This script updates the EPoS Screen Message on all tills in the account. | It is usually ran daily, and used to display the Challenge 25 message with the DOB for 18. | 10 |
File transfer integrations
This feature allows us to schedule reports to send by email, or file transfer (FTP, SFTP or AWS S3). This allows us to integrate with partners who require automated information from your Kobas account. This could include partners such as Yapster who run staff incentive campaigns.
