Quick Rankings ​

Three summary tables at the bottom:

  • Top Waiters — ranked by sales revenue with order count
  • Top Items — best-selling menu items by revenue and quantity
  • Payment Mix — cash vs M-PESA percentage breakdown

Staff Performance ​

Waiter Performance Table ​

ColumnDescription

The Top Performers sidebar ranks waiters by revenue with medal indicators (gold, silver, bronze).

Hourly Heatmap ​

A color-coded grid showing sales intensity by waiter and hour of day. Toggle between Revenue and Orders views.

  • Light cells = low activity
  • Medium purple = moderate activity
  • Dark purple = high activity

Use this to:

  • Spot which waiters perform best during specific hours
  • Identify coverage gaps (empty cells = no orders)
  • Plan shift schedules based on actual performance data

Waiters vs Cashiers ​

Toggle between Waiters and Cashiers tabs to see performance for front-of-house staff vs cashiers separately.

Expenses & Cash ​

Daily cash flow management — know exactly where your money went.

Summary Cards ​

Total DepositsCash deposited to safe/bank
Total FloatOpening cash float
Net (Deposits − Expenses)Quick indicator — green means deposits exceed expenses

Expense Breakdown ​

A detailed table of every expense item with count, total, average, and percentage of total. The Top Expenses sidebar ranks the biggest expense categories.

Cash Reconciliation ​

The daily cash flow calculation that answers "how much cash should be in the till?":

  Sales (Gross)         110,530
− Voids                   3,540
= Gross Sales           106,990
− Expenses               13,415
= Net Sales              93,575
− M-PESA                 75,490
− Unpaid Bills (Credit)       0
= Expected Cash          18,085
− Float Delta                 0
= Expected Deposit       18,085

  Actual Safe Deposit         0
  Variance              -18,085

A non-zero Variance means the physical cash count doesn't match expected — investigate immediately.

Payments ​

Track how customers are paying — cash, M-PESA, or credit.

Summary Cards ​

CardDescription

CashCash payments with count and percentage
M-PESAMobile money with count and percentage

Payment Mix ​

Visual bar chart showing the cash vs M-PESA split. Useful for understanding customer payment preferences and planning cash management.

M-PESA Summary ​

Three key M-PESA metrics:

  • Transactions — total M-PESA payment count
  • Claimed — payments matched to orders (green)
  • Unclaimed — unmatched payments that need manual reconciliation (orange)

M-PESA Transactions ​

A detailed log of every M-PESA payment showing transaction ID, time, customer name, amount, claim status, and which staff member claimed it. Use this for reconciliation and dispute resolution.

Voids ​

Track order cancellations for accountability and loss prevention.

Summary Cards ​

CardDescription
Total VoidsCount and total value of voided orders
ConfirmedApproved voids with value
PendingVoids awaiting manager approval
Avg Void ValueAverage amount per void

Voids by Reason ​

Visual breakdown of why orders were voided:

  • Customer Changed Order — customer requested a change after printing
  • Waiter Error — wrong item entered
  • Customer Walkout — customer left without paying

Voids by Staff ​

See which staff members are proposing and approving voids. Toggle between Proposers (who requested the void) and Approvers (who authorized it) to spot patterns.

Recent Voids ​

Detailed log with timestamp, receipt number, amount, reason, waiter, proposer, approver, and status. Every void has a full audit trail.

Void Approval Workflow

Voids require a two-step process: a waiter proposes the void, and a manager approves it. This prevents unauthorized cancellations.

Understand which menu items drive revenue and which underperform.
