What's in the Reporting Dashboard?
Learn how to access the Table Needs Reporting Dashboard and navigate to a variety of built in reports.
The Table Needs reporting dashboard gives you a clear picture of how your restaurant is performing — from daily sales totals to individual modifier breakdowns. Watch the walkthrough below, then follow the step-by-step guide underneath.
Open the Reporting Dashboard
- From the left side menu, tap Reports.
- The reporting dashboard will open, showing your Sales Summary for today by default. Below the summary you'll find an itemized list that you can export anytime.
Change the Date Range
- Tap the date range selector at the top of the dashboard.
- Choose a preset like This Week, or set a custom range for the exact dates you need.
- Tap Done, then Apply Changes.
- The dashboard will update to reflect the new time period. For ranges longer than a single day, you'll see additional breakdowns including sales by day, average sales by day of the week, and average sales by hour.
Switch Between Report Types
- Use the report selector to switch to a different dashboard. Available reports include:
- Sales Summary — total sales, itemized breakdown, and trend data for the selected period.
- Taxes — tax collected, broken down by tax type.
- Payments — every payment that's come in, with details like order name, order number, employee, tender type, and more.
- Items — performance data for individual menu items.
- Orders — a detailed look at each order placed during the selected period.
- Categories — sales broken down by menu category.
- Modifiers — how many modifications were made, which items they were applied to, and where they came from.
- Refunds — all refunds issued, with order and payment details.
- Voids — voided items and orders, including who voided them.
- Gift Cards — gift card activity including sales, redemptions, and balances.

Export Your Data
- From any report view, tap Export to download the itemized data. This is helpful for bookkeeping, sharing with your accountant, or digging deeper on your own.
Tips
- Check the Sales Summary at the end of each day for a quick snapshot of how things went.
- The Payments report is a great place to start if you need to track down a specific transaction.
- Use the Modifiers report to spot trends — if customers are consistently adding the same extras, it might be worth making those the default or creating a new menu item around them.
