Smart Ops Dashboard

Every number that matters, the moment you log in.

Cash balance, prime cost, net profit, sales trend, and more — updated automatically, in one place. No report to run, no spreadsheet to rebuild, no waiting for month-end close.

This is the screen you land on.

Not a menu of reports to go build — the numbers themselves, already current, with the change since last period sitting right next to them.

What's on the dashboard

Profitability, not just activity.
Net profit sits on the dashboard next to the cost lines that drive it, so a strong sales week that didn't actually make money doesn't read as a win.
Every location at once, or one at a time.
Run more than one restaurant and the dashboard compares them side by side, or rolls them up into a single consolidated view of the whole group.
Sales trend by day, week, and period.
Daily sales flow in from your POS automatically, so you can see the shape of the week — which days are carrying it and which ones quietly aren't.
Prime cost, live — with food and labor split out.
Not a single blended percentage. Food cost and labor cost each stand on their own, so a prime cost that looks flat doesn't hide one half climbing while the other falls.
Your cash position, without opening a bank tab.
Cash balance across your accounts, current as of your latest bank sync — so the first question every operator asks is answered before you go looking for it.

It stays current because it isn't built by hand.

The dashboard isn't a report someone assembles on Monday morning. Sales come in from your POS, vendor invoices are read and coded to the right cost category as they arrive, bank transactions sync and reconcile automatically, and labor reflects as soon as it's entered. Every tile above updates off that same flow.

Which means the number you're looking at on a Wednesday is a Wednesday number — not a picture of a month that closed three weeks ago, when there was still time to do something about it.

Nobody watches a dashboard all day. DishBooks watches the underlying numbers for you and flags the movement that's actually out of pattern — so you find out while it's still a small problem.

Labor at Location 1 is up 0.8 pts week over week — the third consecutive week it's climbed.

Watch

Protein cost from your primary distributor rose 6% on this week's invoice versus your trailing average.

Cost change

Sunday sales at Location 2 came in 18% below the trailing four-week average for that day.

What a dashboard is actually for

Seeing the number earlier is only worth something if you can still act on it.
  • Start the week knowing your cash position, instead of guessing until the bank statement lands.
  • Catch labor drifting up in week one, not in a month-end review after four weeks of it.
  • See which location is carrying the group and which one needs attention, without opening two sets of reports.
  • Walk into a manager meeting with the same live numbers everyone else is looking at.
  • Spend the morning acting on the numbers instead of assembling them.
