Navigating the Insights Centre

Updated: 1 Sep 2026

Every sale you ring up turns into a report. This is how to read them: what you took today, where it came from, what discounts cost you, and how your staff are performing.

WHO THIS IS FOR

Owners checking the day

  • without exporting anything to a spreadsheet.

Managers running shifts

  • who need to know which staff and which items are pulling their weight.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Reports need trading data. A brand-new store shows “No insight yet” until orders start coming through.

Attendance figures come from staff clocking in. Set up employee logins first if the numbers read zero.

THE STEPS

The same four tabs on tablet and phone — on a phone you swipe the tab row sideways.

Step 1: Read the Business Overview

The top half of the home dashboard is your daily snapshot. Four tiles carry it.

Sales Takings so far, order count and average order value.
Sales by Payment Which tender types the money came in on.
Items Sold Quantity sold, plus average items per order.
Top Selling Items What is actually moving off the menu today.

Step 2: Open the Insights Centre

Tap any overview tile and the full Insights Centre opens, with four tabs across the top: Pulse Check, Sales Report, Marketing and Attendance.

Step 3: Read the Sales Report

On the Sales Report tab, scroll to Sales Breakdown. Channels splits in-store registers from your online storefronts; Services splits dine-in from pick-up. Below that, Total Sales Breakdown walks from Gross Sales through discounts, refunds and comps down to Net Sales — the number that actually matters.

Step 4: Filter and compare

Three controls sit above every report.

All Stores Narrow the figures to one branch or outlet.
Today Switch the window: yesterday, last 7 days, last 30 days, or a custom range.
VS Overlay a benchmark — same day last week, same day last month — so the graph shows both lines.
Store, date, and the comparison date.
Store, date, and the comparison date.

Step 5: Run a Pulse Check

The first tab is a health monitor rather than a report. It shows how today is tracking against your daily sales target, flags slow-moving items that need a push, and lists upcoming holidays so you can order stock accordingly. Items marked Needs Action come with recommendations you can open.

Step 6: Check what promotions cost

The Marketing tab keeps discounts honest: Total Discount given away, how many Discounted Orders out of all orders, the Discounted Sales they generated, and the discount-to-sales ratio. Read it before extending a campaign.

Step 7: Audit attendance and labour

The last tab turns clock-ins into labour figures: Total Working Hours, who is clocked in right now, average hours, and Total Manpower Cost for payroll. Switch between Working Hours, Orders/Hour and Sales/Hour to see which operator is fastest on the register.

Hours, cost, and performance per person.

IF IT LOOKS WRONG

There is no data in the selected window. Widen the date range, or check you have not filtered to a store with no sales.

That is the point of the ledger. Read the discounts, refunds and comps lines above Net Sales to see where it went.

Staff have not clocked in on their own logins. Employee accounts and check-in must be set up for these figures to fill.
