Lakeside Market June Sales
Lakeside Market’s June sales pie chart shows the department mix behind one month of retail revenue. Produce is the largest slice, followed by deli, bakery, dairy and pantry. This part-to-whole view is useful for a manager who wants to explain the shape of the business quickly, for example in a monthly team meeting. It does not show which department has the best margin, the fastest growth or the most transactions. Those are different questions that need additional measures. In a real report, specify whether sales are gross or net of returns, and make sure every department uses the same accounting cutoff. If the market has many departments with similar sales, a ranked bar chart will make comparison easier than a pie. Keep this visual focused on the few categories that matter most.

- Avoid excess slices: group minor departments if labels become crowded.
When to reuse this
