The morning email, the evening truth — how the business is doing.

You shouldn't have to go looking for your own numbers. Yesterday lands in your inbox each morning — collected, counted, split by tender — and when a number needs a why, the dashboard's six reports carry it: sales, the menu quadrant, profit & loss, expenses, labour. All of it on your trading day, not calendar midnight.

The walkthrough

Inbox to deep report — three steps.

1

Start with the morning email

Every morning, yesterday's business arrives in your inbox: how much was collected, how many orders, the average order, and the cash / UPI / card split — lines that add up to the total exactly, because a summary an owner can't reconcile is worse than none. It goes to everyone who can sign in to your dashboard, it's on by default, and a ₹0 day sends nothing — no news is not sent as news.

2

Open Summary when a number needs a why

The dashboard's Summary page is the same glance, deeper: net sales, orders, food cost, labour, prime cost and profit as cards with trendlines, a 'Needs attention' queue that turns machine findings into owner language, the dishes moving up and down against last period, and a day-of-week × hour heatmap of net sales — the honest way to decide staffing for Tuesday nights. Every card clicks through to its deep report.

The dashboard's Summary page over a week of sales: net sales ₹30,793 across 40 orders with the KPI cards, a Needs attention queue, and the weekday-by-hour net-sales heatmap with real coloured cells

Step 2 — the glance with a why behind every number, and a heatmap that sets Tuesday's staffing.

Use the deep reports for real decisions

Sales breaks down tenders, discounts, refunds and dine-in versus parcel. Menu performance plots every dish into four straight-talking boxes — Stars to protect, Plowhorses to reprice, Puzzles to promote, Dogs to drop. Profit & loss walks net sales down to net profit against the previous period; Expenses and Labour carry the two costs that eat restaurants. Pick your range — this week, last month, or exact dates — and the same picker drives every page.

The Sales report over the same week: net sales, orders, average order, discounts and refunds cards, the daily net-sales chart, a payment mix of roughly half cash with UPI and card behind it, and the dine-in versus parcel split

Step 3a — tenders, discounts, refunds, dine-in vs parcel: the day, itemised.

The Menu performance quadrant scatter plotting a week of dishes — two Stars, five Plowhorses and a Puzzle — against the labelled Star, Plowhorse, Puzzle and Dog quadrants

Step 3b — every dish in one of four honest boxes, with the action written beside it.

Turn the email off (or on) yourself: dashboard → Settings → Notifications → "Daily summary". It's on by default, and it goes to every person with dashboard access — the partner sees what you see.

Report questions

Straight answers.

When does the daily summary email arrive, and what's in it?
Each morning, once yesterday is actually complete. The register deliberately waits for every till that sold that day to finish syncing before it mails — a beautiful number that's missing a counter is a lie — and if some till stays offline past the deadline, the email still comes but says plainly which counter is missing and that the total may be short. Inside: the total collected, order count, average order, and the cash/UPI/card split.
Whose 'day' is it — calendar midnight or my restaurant's night?
Your restaurant's. Reports and the email both run on your trading day — 4 AM by default, adjustable — so the 1 AM biryani belongs to Saturday night's number, not Sunday's. The register, the kitchen counter and the report all agree on this, because they all read the same setting.
What is the menu quadrant actually telling me?
It crosses two things you feel but rarely see together: how often a dish sells, and how much margin it carries. Stars sell often with good margin — protect them. Plowhorses sell often but earn little — candidates for a price nudge. Puzzles earn well but sell rarely — promote or reposition. Dogs do neither — shortlist for the next menu cut. The page says this advice in plain words next to the chart.
Can I download reports as PDF or Excel?
Not yet — reports are viewed in the dashboard today, and we'd rather say that than pretend. The morning email is the shareable artefact for now: it forwards cleanly to a partner or your CA. Export is on the roadmap; when it ships, it will be on the report pages themselves.
Where do food cost and labour numbers come from?
From what you record — and the reports are upfront about it. Food cost is estimated from purchases until you record a stocktake, and the Summary page tells you so on the card rather than dressing an estimate as a fact. Labour comes from the pay you set under Staff & pay — a monthly salary is spread across the days it covers, daily-wage staff count what you actually paid them, hourly staff their logged hours — and until you set pay the card says so instead of showing a zero. Expenses are what you've entered — one full-screen form with the amount first, your usual suppliers and the common costs (vegetables, gas cylinder, electricity bill, rent) as one-tap chips, the category read from what you type ("bijli bill" files under Electricity), and where the money came from (cash, bank, your own pocket, or a supplier you still owe) — with recurring vendor bills suggested so the P&L doesn't quietly miss the rent.
