The Restaurant dashboard is the first screen after opening the app. It gives staff a quick view of the selected day and shortcuts into reports. Restaurant dashboard ## What To Check Use the dashboard for a fast daily read: * Today's statistics. * Recent orders. * Payment method activity. * Order type activity. * Best-selling items. * Sales by users. * Discounts. * Kitchen performance. * Recent voids. * Recent audit logs. Most dashboard blocks link to a deeper report. If something looks unusual, open the matching report to filter by date, source, category, or staff member. ## Date Selection Use the date picker near the top of the dashboard to review another day. This affects the daily widgets on the page. ## Empty Dashboard If the dashboard shows empty lists, it usually means no restaurant orders were created for the selected day. That is normal for a new workspace or a test workspace.
