How To - Dashboard Settings

Defining Dashboard Settings

Site administrators can define up to six widgets to be displayed on the host dashboard. These widgets allow staff to view summary information about all operations on the current day. You can display multiple instances of the same widget if required.

The following widgets are available:

Logo - Allows the host to add a logo to the host app dashboard.
Notes - Displays a list of all current notes.
Store Inbox - Displays a list of current inbox messages.
Session Stats - Displays the session stats (currently already available in host app)
Current wait times - Allows the host to view cover count and wait time combinations more quickly.
Upcoming Reservations - Displays a list of upcoming reservations showing the guest name, number of guests per Adult, Child and highchair requirements.
Table Stats and Guest Courses - Tells the host the number of tables on each status and their level of occupancy.
Cover Levels - Displays the number of covers each day for the current day, the previous seven days and the seven days to come.
Available Tables - Displays table information so that hosts can refer to a list of available tables at a glance without opening the popup dialogue.
Guest Summary - Displays guest list information so that hosts can see a list of upcoming, waiting and seated guests at a glance without needing to switch to the table plan view.
