Common Reasons for Missing Data

QSROnline pulls your sales and labor data directly from your POS system daily to provide you with the most up-to-date information. However, sometimes the data fails to report into QSROnline for various reasons. As soon as the data verification team finds that your data is missing, they will notify you immediately. The good news is that the majority of missing data causes are completely preventable. See our list of the most common reasons for missing data below.

Connectivity Issues

In order for QSROnline to access your POS data, your computer installed with your POS software should remain plugged in and online. When your POS computer is turned off or lacks internet connection, QSROnline is incapable of accessing your data. Please make sure that your POS computer is turned on with a stable internet connection after business hours so that we may pull your data daily.

* Also, please notify us of any internet failures, power outages, or other potential connectivity issues.

Changes to Security

Upon the initial installation of the QSROnline software on your POS computer, QSROnline must be granted permission to access your computer. This means that your computer’s security software (firewalls) must allow QSROnline’s software to be present on your computer. Upgrades or changes to security can sometimes block QSROnline from accessing your computer, ultimately resulting in missing data.

If your computer’s security changes, please grant QSROnline access and notify us of any issues.

New POS Computer

POS computers that do not have the QSROnline Send program installed on them are unable to send QSROnline your sales and labor data.

If you replace your POS computer, please notify us so that we may install the required QSROnline software on it as soon as possible.

Closed for Holidays, Remodels, Weather

Since QSROnline pulls your sales and labor data daily, we ask that you notify the Support Team of any business closures. This way, when we receive sales of $0.00 for your business, we will know it is due to your business being closed, not an error in the connection.

* If possible, please notify us in advance of any closed dates, including holidays, business remodels, severe weather conditions, etc.

Why do my menu items sold prices not match what my POS shows?
