Restaurant Performance Dashboard

BI for Breakfast? Here’s a look at how a restaurant might monitor their business via a performance dashboard. Thanks goes to Robert Allison who created this restaurant dashboard in SAS/GRAPH leveraging a design by Charley Kyd of ExcelUser dashboards.

Here is the restaurant performance dashboard. It’s titled “Performance for the Month”.

I’m particularly intrigued by the commentary:

Sales continued their downward trend again this week. The continuing rise in gasoline prices increased freight costs and has hurt gross profits throughout the company. The recent series of ads has increased breakfast traffic. The series for dinner traffic starts Feburary 8. All items have been replaced. New menus to be completed by Feb 4 and distributed by Feb 8.

I’m always a big fan of comments on dashboards, particularly when they are well written and insightful. But the main challenge is exactly who provides the comment.

    Glad you picked up on the commentary - it’s the “so what?” element and needs to be done well.

    We’re in the process of splitting some of our commentary into two - so for example, the complaints team might talk about the implications of the trend in complaints, any themes or areas for concern, then the people responsible for the relationships in question have to say what they’re doing about it.
