The finances dashboard at Loop classifies the Commission value on the GrubHub transaction dashboard as a marketing expenditure. This categorisation arises from a discrepancy in GrubHub's UI, where the Commission field actually represents the advertising fees of the store—a component of marketing expenditure.

Loop's classification approach:
Loop simplifies the categorisation for restaurant owners by consolidating Commissions and Targeted Promotion costs into a single 'Marketing' category, ($3.19 + $5.00)$8.19 in the presented example. This approach ensures that value under Commissions within in GrubHub's transaction dashboard are considered part of the overall marketing costs. And, the Delivery Commission is classified under the 'Commissions' category.



To validate this categorization, you can compare the marketing fees in GrubHub deposit statements to the commission value in the GrubHub transaction dashboard. In the given example, the Commission field on the transaction dashboard displays a value of $3.19.
Correspondingly, the marketing column in the deposit statements also records a value of $3.19.


Here is a representation of how the Loop finance dashboard would appear for the mentioned store during the same time period.
