Stop Guessing Your Order Volume Get Crystal-Clear Visibility into Peak Hours and Inventory in Real Time

How long does it take to build a custom dashboard for my ghost kitchen?

It depends on your setup, but most ghost kitchens see a fully functional dashboard in 4-6 weeks. We start with a quick discovery to understand your delivery apps and inventory systems, then prototype key views like order queues. Testing happens in phases to mimic rush hours, ensuring it handles 200+ orders without a hitch. You're involved every step, so we tweak for your exact needs—like highlighting vegan order spikes. No long waits; we prioritize speed without cutting corners on reliability.

Yes, we specialize in deep integrations with platforms like Uber Eats, DoorDash, and Grubhub. Our team builds two-way API connections that pull in real-time order data, driver locations, and customer notes directly into your dashboard. No more switching tabs during a busy shift. For example, if a delivery delays spike, it flags instantly with ETA predictions. We've done this for kitchens handling multiple apps, reducing manual checks by 70%. It's all custom-coded to your workflow, so it feels native.

We tailor KPIs to ghost kitchen realities, like average prep time per dish, ingredient depletion rates, and order fulfillment speed. You might track peak-hour volume from specific apps or waste percentages on proteins. Our dashboards visualize these in easy charts—say, a heat map of busy times for staffing decisions. Actionable stuff: alerts if guac is running low during taco night. We've helped operators cut over-prep by 25% just by spotlighting these metrics in real time.

Absolutely, security is non-negotiable in food service where data breaches can kill trust. We build with encryption for all order info, comply with standards like PCI for payments, and host on secure, owned servers—no risky third-party clouds. Features include role-based access, so only kitchen leads see inventory, while managers get full views. In one project, we fortified a kitchen's system against app API vulnerabilities, ensuring zero downtime during peaks. Your data stays yours, protected like fresh ingredients in a walk-in.

Pricing starts around $15,000 for a core setup, scaling based on integrations—like adding AI forecasting bumps it to $25,000. This covers design, build, and three months of support, with full ownership afterward—no endless subs. For a small operation with two apps and basic inventory, it's often under $20K and ROI hits in 3-6 months via waste savings.

Yes, we design fully responsive dashboards that work seamlessly on mobiles, tablets, or desktops—perfect for checking order status while plating. Swipe through real-time views of incoming deliveries or inventory levels without leaving the line. One client, a busy poke spot, uses it on iPads in the kitchen to reroute staff during surges. It's intuitive, with push notifications for critical alerts like stockouts, so you're always in control, even hands-free with voice commands if needed.
