Where the money went, last 90 days
The money side of coffee, tea and cocoa sellers is rarely as tidy as the accounting software assumes. Food has a clock on it. Everything you buy or make is losing value from the day it exists, and unsold stock past its date is worthless rather than discountable. That makes buying accuracy far more important than in categories where old stock is merely unfashionable.
Packaging and shipping are unusually heavy costs here. Sending food safely often means insulation, ice packs and next day delivery, and for lower priced items that can cost more than the product itself. Plenty of food sellers discover their small orders lose money.
The compensation is loyalty. People who like a hot sauce or a coffee buy it again, and repeat customers in food are genuinely valuable. Measuring that repeat rate is what tells you whether you have a brand or just a series of one off sales.

Where the money went
Upload a statement and Cashowa does the sorting. Free to start, no card needed.
Three situations that come up constantly in coffee, tea and cocoa.
Compare your average order value against packaging plus shipping. Where those two nearly meet, small orders lose money, and that gap tells you where the minimum needs to sit.
Hampers carry heavy packaging and shipping costs. Cost them as their own product and the fourth quarter picture becomes a lot clearer than the revenue figure suggests.
Wholesale moves volume at a much thinner margin. Categorising them separately shows whether the volume is worth the margin you gave up.
Switch between monthly, quarterly and yearly to see the pattern.
The fourth quarter dominates for gifting and hampers. Summer suits some products and hurts others, especially anything that melts.
Upload twelve months and the pattern stops being something you half remember. You can switch between monthly, quarterly and yearly, which matters when income arrives in lumps and a single month tells you very little.
Import your sales file and Cashowa works out profit per product, what is selling, and what has not moved in sixty days. Enter what each item costs you once and the margins stop being guesswork.
Add a lead time and it warns you before something runs out, rather than after.
