Dashboard

Dashboard shows how today is going and how the last few weeks compare, on one screen. Check it before and during service to see whether sales are on pace and whether labor is in line with sales.

Open Dashboard in the Back Office . Managers and owners can open it.

How the screen is organized

From top to bottom:

Today - today’s sales chart, with a score board for your online shop and POS devices next to it.
Weekly Sales & Payroll - three charts comparing the last 7 days with the 7 days before.
Three 30-day cards - 30-Day Net Sales, 30 Day Kitchen Speed (minutes), and Best Days · Last 30 Days.

Today

The Today chart shows sales building up through the business day, in 15-minute steps. It draws two lines: today and a day you pick for comparison.

The selector at the top left switches between Gross Sales and # Orders. The number under it is today’s total so far.
The date picker next to it sets the comparison day. It starts on the same weekday last week. You can pick any earlier day up to yesterday. The number under it is that day’s total.
The times under the chart show where the day starts and ends.

The business day starts at the Start hour in POS settings, not at midnight. For example, with a start hour of 2:00 AM, sales at 1:00 AM count toward the day before.

The today line updates when you come back to the browser tab, at most once a minute. If the chart shows Couldn't load today's sales., click Try again.

Score board

The card next to the Today chart has quick links and counts. Click Reviews, Weekly Visitors, or POS Devices to open the screen behind it.

Your Online Shop - opens Share, where you get your shop link, QR code, and embed code.
Menu picture circle - the share of your available dishes that have a picture. It shows Add pictures when no dish has one, and Add more pictures when fewer than 60% do. Click it to open your menu’s dishes. See Menu.
Your Domain - opens your restaurant website in a new tab. Manage opens Domain. This row shows only when you have a domain.
Admirers - how many customers saved your restaurant as a favorite.
Reviews - how many reviews you have. It opens Review.
Weekly Visitors - views of your online shop in the last 7 days. The arrow and percentage compare it with the 7 days before. Green means up or unchanged, and amber means down. It opens Online Sales.
POS Devices - how many POS iPads were used in the last year. Displays aren’t counted. It opens Devices.

Auto print warning

Exactly one POS iPad should print online orders automatically. When you have active iPads and that isn’t true, POS Devices shows an amber warning:

No device set for auto print online orders - no iPad prints online orders when they arrive.
{count} devices set for auto print — should be exactly 1 - more than one iPad prints each online order, so the kitchen gets duplicate tickets.

To fix either one, see Check online-order auto printing.

Weekly Sales & Payroll

This card compares the last 7 days, today included, with the 7 days before. Each chart labels days by weekday. Last Week is the gray line.

Sales chart - daily sales. Use the selector under the card title to switch between Gross Sales and Net Sales.
Payroll - daily labor cost.
Payroll to Net Sales % - each day’s payroll as a percentage of that day’s net sales. A day with no net sales shows 0%.

Use the percentage chart to spot days when labor cost rises faster than sales.

If you have salaried staff, the Payroll chart splits this week into Hourly and Salary. You see the split only if you’re the owner or your login has Can access wage and edit timecards turned on in Users & Access. Other managers see one combined line.

The note at the bottom, * overtime boost is not considered in these charts, means overtime hours count at the base wage here. Payroll shows the real overtime cost.

Click the refresh button at the top right to reload the last 7 days. The 7 days before don’t change, so they aren’t reloaded.

30-Day Net Sales

This bar chart shows each day’s sales for the last 30 days, split by channel:

In House - orders placed at the restaurant, such as on your POS.
Selflane - orders customers place themselves through Selflane.
Third Party - orders from third-party ordering platforms.

Under the chart, Total adds up all 30 days. Each channel’s total follows it, but only channels with sales appear. Click the refresh button to reload the chart.

Use this card to see where your revenue comes from and whether the mix is changing.

30 Day Kitchen Speed (minutes)

This bar chart shows the median time in minutes from order to ready, for each day of the last 30 days and today. The chart starts at the first day with tracked orders, and a later day with none has no bar. Click the refresh button to reload it.

The card appears only when your kitchen has speed data. For speed by item and by hour on one day, see Kitchen speed in Daily Sales.

Best Days · Last 30 Days

This card ranks your top 5 days by net sales over the 30 days before today. Today isn’t included. Days with no sales, or with a loss, aren’t ranked.

Click View all to open Sales set to the same 30 days.
