Determining which Dashboards to Add
When setting up a new customer with Dashboards, There are 4 main points that will determine which Dashboards you add to their account.
- How do they calculate sales?
- We have one dashboard that takes total sales - tax, which will include tips, discounts, etc. in the total amount.
- This will affect Sales and Order Type Dashboards. For these dashboards, you will use the dashboard that has a (1) following it. ie. Ops - Sales (1)
- We have one dashboard that calculates sales based upon taking the Sub-Total from the POS. This will often exclude Tips and other misc. items from their sales figure.
- This will affect Sales and Order Type Dashboards. For these dashboards, you will use the dashboards that are just the name. ie Ops - Sales
- Are we getting Labor Data for them?
- If yes, you will use the Ops-Sales-Labor Dashboard
- You will also add the Labor Dashboard
- If no, you will use the Ops-Sales Dashboard
- How many order types do they have? ie. Delivery, Drive-Thru, In-store, Catering.
- If they only have 2 dining options, you will use the Order Type Simple Dashboard
- if they have more than 2 dining options, you will use the Order Type Dashboard.
- Are they doing People Counting or Dwell Times
- If they are just doing people counting, add the Counting Dashboard
- If they are doing the counting and Dwell times, use the Dwell-Count Dashboard
- Are they separating their discounts and promotions as different transaction types, or are they treating them as one transaction type?
- If they are treating them as one, just use the Loss Prevention General dashboard and you will not add the promotions dashboard.
- this is typically the case on all accounts except C-store and Little Caesar locations
- If they treat them separately, use the Loss Prevention- Promo dashboard and add both the Discounts and Promotions Dashboards
- this will be used on most c-store locations and Little Caeasar groups
