See your venue while you can still do something about it

Bar and counter load. Orders waiting at each counter, current handover time, and how far each counter is drifting from its normal pace. The bar falling behind becomes visible before the queue does.

Section performance. Revenue and orders per head by section, measured against your own venue average and your own history. Colour coded so that under and over performance is readable across a room rather than something you work out.

Order flow. Orders placed, prepared, collected and outstanding, live. Outstanding is the number that matters, because every one of them is a guest currently waiting.

Item velocity. What is selling and how quickly, per bar, with stock burning down as it goes.

Guest side signals. Scans, conversion and drop off as they happen. These lead everything else, because scanning happens before ordering does.

A dashboard can show you that something is off. It does not tell you why, and at 20:47 you do not have time to go and find out.

So you can ask it. In plain language, inside the dashboard. Why is bar 3 slower than usual tonight. What changed in the east stand since the first half. Are we going to run out of anything before full time. The answer comes back from your live event data with the numbers attached.

This is the constraint everything else follows from. The person using this is not sitting at a desk. They are on their feet, holding a radio, with somewhere between two and fifteen minutes of usable time.

So it is built to be read in five seconds on a tablet or a phone. Large numbers, clear states, and no drilling required to see whether something is wrong. The depth is there when you want it, afterwards, in reporting.
