A coffee shop dashboard that runs itself
A coffee shop dashboard pulls sales by hour, popular drinks, loyalty members, catering leads and new reviews into one page that updates each morning. It tells you whether the 2 p.m. promotion worked and which office has gone quiet. It lives on your accounts, with data you own.
Talk through your coffee shop with the person who builds it
A free 30-minute call. You leave knowing which part of your coffee shop to hand to AI first, what we would build, and roughly how long it takes.
Know your hours
Most shops know the morning is busy and the afternoon is slow. A dashboard shows by how much, and whether a new offer moved it. That helps you decide who to schedule.
Comparisons help too. This week beside the same week last year, if you have it, shows whether the new patio changed anything.
Catering leads in one list
Every catering inquiry, from the form, email or DM, sits in one list with a status: asked, quoted, confirmed, delivered. Nothing gets lost under a stack of cups.
It can also flag the quiet ones: a regular office client that has ordered less each month, or a menu item nobody has bought in three weeks. You decide what to do with it.
Only what you use
A good dashboard has a handful of numbers you check every morning, not fifty. We build around the ones you actually care about, and a person tests it with your real data first.
Picture this
Examples of what it can look like. Illustrations, not clients.
Monday’s page shows that Saturday’s afternoon sales rose after you started the cookie-and-cold-brew deal.
The catering list shows a yoga studio quote sent six days ago with no answer, so it floats to the top.
A loyalty count shows how many members came in this week and who has not been back in a month.

Questions
Does it connect to my register?
Often, depending on the system. We check on the first call.
Is it hard to keep up?
It updates itself. You only look.
Can staff see it?
You choose who sees what. A shift lead may see the day’s numbers while only you see sales over time.
