Dashboard Overview
The Dashboard is the first screen you see after logging in. It gives owners and staff a command-center view of how the store is performing right now.
What You See on the Dashboard
The Dashboard displays your most important business numbers in one place. You can check performance, operational pressure, inventory risk, and customer momentum without digging through menus.
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
| Metric | What It Tells You |
|---|---|
| Total Sales | The total revenue earned in the selected period. |
| Order Count | The number of completed orders. |
| Average Order Value | The average amount spent per order. |
| Refunds | The total value of refunded orders. |
| Net Sales | Sales after discounts and refunds. |
| Discounts | Discounts applied during the selected period. |
Smart Insights
Smart Insights highlights the most important things to act on, such as sales dropping against the previous period, high refund or discount activity, low-stock best sellers, busy upcoming hours, table pressure, or register session attention.
These insights are rules-based today and designed to become AI-assisted later.
Operations and Inventory
The dashboard also summarizes active orders, peak hour, table occupancy, open register session, low-stock items, urgent restocks, recent orders, best sellers, payment mix, customer mix, and refund activity.
Store Pulse cards use color to show health. Green means the metric is healthy, yellow means it needs monitoring, and red means staff should check it.
These numbers update in real time as new orders come in.
Filtering by Date Range
You can change the date range to view performance for a specific period.
- Today -- See sales and orders for the current day.
- This Week -- View a summary of the past seven days.
- This Month -- Check your monthly performance.
- Custom Range -- Pick any start and end date you want.
Comparing Performance
You can compare the current period against a previous one. This helps you spot trends and growth patterns.
For example, compare this week to last week. The Dashboard highlights whether your sales went up or down.
