RADAR tracks three main metrics for count comparisons: Checks, Guests, and Entrees. While the first two are generally taken from your POS, Entrée Definitions are configured on this page.
The Entrée Definitions page allows you to configure your entrees at the sale department level or at the item level. If you would like to track your entrees at the item level, please contact your Site Administrator.
