# Cash Flow

{% hint style="info" %}
Cash is king! While your profit and loss statements give you the big picture, the Cash Flow page is all about the actual money moving in and out of your property every single day. This is where you verify that your expected earnings actually landed in the bank or the till.
{% endhint %}

## At a Glance

At the top of the page, we give you the two numbers that matter most for the date range you've selected:

| Metric             | Description                                                |
| ------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Total In-flow**  | The actual amount of money collected from guests.          |
| **Total Out-flow** | The money that went out (like refunds or logged expenses). |

## The Daily Ledger

Below the top-line numbers, you'll find a clean table breaking down your cash flow day by day.

{% hint style="success" %}
If you're looking for a specific day, use the search bar right above the table to quickly filter the list.
{% endhint %}

Here's exactly what you'll see on each row:

| Column            | What It Shows                                                      |
| ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Date**          | The specific day being analyzed.                                   |
| **Daily Revenue** | The net amount earned on that specific day.                        |
| **Bookings**      | The total number of reservations active or processed on that date. |
| **Cash In**       | Everything collected (cash, card, bank transfer).                  |
| **Cash Out**      | Any money that left the business.                                  |

## Digging Deeper
