The dashboard on the device

Dashboard is the device’s home screen. It answers “what is happening right now” without opening anything else, and it is read-only apart from two row shortcuts.

Four stat cards across the top:

Card What it counts
Today’s Sales Money taken today at this location
Tables Tables currently in use
Active Orders Orders that are not yet completed
Pending Reservations Bookings still waiting to be confirmed

These follow the location picked in the header. Switching location reloads them.

A rolling list of the orders that are still moving, with three columns — Order, Table / Source and Status. When there is nothing running you get the quiet state rather than an empty table:

All quiet for now — No active orders — enjoy the breather.

Each row carries two shortcuts, and they are the reason to work from this screen rather than the Orders list:

  • Kitchen — reprints that order’s kitchen ticket.
  • Guest check — prints the bill for the table.

View All opens the full Orders screen.

Items that have fallen to or below their Min Stock Level. When nothing has:

All items are well stocked

Stock levels and minimums are set per item — see The menu on the device. An item left with a blank stock figure has unlimited stock and never appears here.

On a small screen the dashboard is the first thing to be dropped, because a phone’s bottom bar holds only five destinations. A waiter handset normally starts on Tables instead. That is a device setting, not a fault — see Device modes: Solo, Hub and Waiter.
