* In Revelup run the following reports with output to `.csv` files:
  * Order History - run it for any range of dates.
  * Payment Summary - run it for any range of dates.
  * Product Mix - run it for a SPECIFIC DATE ONLY, so if you need a range of dates you will need to run multiple reports.
  * Hourly Sales - with the filters `Service Fees` and `Guests count` activated - run it for a SPECIFIC DATE ONLY, so if you need a range of dates you will need to run multiple reports.
* Copy all the `.csv` files generated by the Revelup reports to the `upload` folder.
* Run `python3 import_data.py`.
  * The application will do the following:
    * Read each line of data from the `.csv` files.
