Metrics and dashboard
The metrics dashboard gives you a snapshot of the business: revenue and expenses, margin, staff cost and a comparison with the previous period. It’s meant for admin and manager.
Revenue, margin, labour cost and period comparison in a single view.
What you’ll find
- Revenue for the selected period, with a comparison against the previous period.
- Margin and cost of goods (based on the recipe costings).
- Staff cost for the period.
- Trends by day and time slot (to spot the busiest moments of service).
The dashboard doesn’t show inventory. To see the stock level of your ingredients, go to Delivery notes and stock.
Choosing the period
At the top you can pick the period (today, this week, this month…) or a custom range with the date picker. The whole screen updates to the selected period.
If you have more than one venue
If you own several restaurants, go to app.getbiga.com/owner with your personal login and you’ll see all your venues together:
- Closed sales, payments, orders and average ticket for the Day, Week or Month, with the change compared with the previous period.
- Sales trend by day: tap a day to see its total and orders.
- Each venue at a glance, plus a filter to see just one.
- Arrows to move to earlier periods or pick a date.
Figures refresh automatically every minute. From here you can also jump into each venue’s back-office.
What Biga has saved you
On the back-office Home screen, the What Biga has saved you card sums up each month what you recovered on purchases (goods that arrived different, overcharging invoices, credits), the price rises detected and the working time saved. See Expenses.
How to read it
- Always compare against the previous period (the arrow and the percentage tell you instantly).
- Keep an eye on the service peak to size your staffing.
- The margin drops when the cost of goods goes up: review your recipe costings and purchase prices.
Common issues
- I see figures at zero → check that there are sales in the selected period and that the date range is correct.
- Staff cost doesn’t show up → you need to have logged the hours or the contracts under Staff.
