Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about using DashAI for food & beverage profit and margin analysis.
How does DashAI calculate profit margins?
DashAI uses your product cost data from Shopify (cost per item field) compared to the actual sale price. We calculate gross margin as (Revenue - Cost) / Revenue, shown as a percentage.
What if I don't have cost data in Shopify?
Profit tracking works best with cost data entered in Shopify's 'Cost per item' field. If you don't have this data, you can still track revenue and other metrics while you update your product costs.
Can I see profit after shipping costs?
DashAI tracks gross profit based on product costs. For net profit including shipping, you can compare shipping revenue collected vs actual shipping costs to understand the full picture.
How do I find my least profitable products?
Simply ask 'Which products have the lowest margins?' or 'Show products with margins under 20%'. DashAI will show you exactly which items are dragging down your profitability.
