Dashboard Overview

The Dashboard is your at-a-glance view. It pulls together the same numbers as the P&L page plus a few visual breakdowns, so you can check the week's pulse without digging into individual pages.

Sections

Top KPIs (4 cards)

• Revenue — what you entered on the P&L page.
• COGS — total cost of goods consumed (from Stock Management).
• Expenses — total operating expenses (from Expenses page).
• Net Profit — Revenue − COGS − Expenses (green if positive, red if negative).

Inventory insights — three charts:

• Top items by COGS this week — which items ate most of your money. Useful for knowing where to negotiate with suppliers or check waste.
• Days of stock remaining — based on this week's usage rate, how long current ending counts will last.
• P&L waterfall — visual breakdown from revenue → COGS → expenses → net profit.

The charts only render once you've entered some Beginning/Ending counts. If you see "No usage recorded yet" placeholders, head to Stock Management and enter counts first.

Why glance at this page

• Daily: catch a margin crash early (e.g. if costs spiked Tuesday).
• Weekly: confirm you closed the week in profit before rolling over.
• Monthly: compare four consecutive Net Profit numbers (in the Week page archive list) to spot trends.
