Your dashboard at a glance

What each number on the owner dashboard means, and which ones to check daily.

Updated 21 August 2026

The owner dashboard opens on a summary of your business. It is designed to be read in twenty seconds, standing up.

The numbers

MetricWhat it tells you
Today's salesEverything taken since midnight
This weekRolling weekly takings
This monthMonth-to-date takings
TransactionsHow many sales were made
Average saleTotal takings divided by number of sales
Low stockHow many items are at or below their threshold

Below them sits your recent transaction list and a chart of daily sales.

The three to check every day

  1. 1
    Today's sales — is trade where it should be for this day of the week?
  2. 2
    Average sale — a falling average usually means baskets are getting smaller, not that customers left.
  3. 3
    Low stock — the number that costs you tomorrow's sales if you ignore it today.

Reading the daily chart

The chart plots takings per day. Look for shape, not single points: which days carry your week, and whether last week's shape repeated. One quiet Tuesday is weather; four quiet Tuesdays is a pattern worth acting on.

Filter by store

If you run more than one store, use the store filter to see each location on its own. Comparing two stores on the same metric is the fastest way to find out what one of them is doing right.

Where the numbers come from

Everything here is built from your completed transactions and your item library. A sale rung up on the till appears within seconds. If a number looks wrong, start with Find a transaction.
