Sales Dashboard
Your daily business snapshot — sales, orders, expenses, and top performers at a glance.
Overview
The Sales Dashboard is your primary daily view. It answers the most common questions a restaurant owner or manager asks: How much did we sell today? Who sold the most? What's our cash position?
Open this page at the start or end of each day to review performance. Use the date picker in the top-right to look at any previous day or date range.
TIP
This page is available to Admin users only. Staff with Operator or Cashier roles will land on System Health instead.
