Restaurant sales analytics turns daily orders into decisions — what to cook more of, when to staff up, and which dishes drive profit.
Metrics beginners should track
- Total sales by day and hour
- Orders per table / average ticket size
- Top and bottom menu items
- Peak service windows
Where the data comes from
When guests order through a QR ordering system, every item is logged. That feeds a restaurant analytics dashboard without manual tally sheets.
From numbers to action
- Staff heavier on peak hours
- Feature high-margin bestsellers
- Fix or remove slow sellers
- Review weekly, not only at month end
