Product Mix (PMIX)
A sales report showing how many of each menu item sold over a period — the breakdown of what guests actually ordered.
Product mix (PMIX) is the item-by-item breakdown of what sold: how many burgers, how many margaritas, how many specials, over a shift, day, or date range. It is one of the most-used reports in a restaurant POS because it turns raw sales into decisions.
PMIX is the raw material for menu engineering and for forecasting prep and purchasing.
- Feeds menu engineering: pairing each item's sales volume with its contribution margin shows which dishes to promote, reprice, or cut.
- Drives purchasing: item counts tell the kitchen what to prep and what to order.
Every restaurant POS generates a PMIX report; inventory and analytics tools pull it to tie units sold to ingredients used and food cost.
