Stop Guessing on Orders and Inventory Track KPIs in Real Time with Custom Dashboards

How quickly can I get a KPI dashboard up and running for my ghost kitchen?

Typically, we can have a prototype ready in 2-4 weeks, depending on your current setup. We start with a quick audit of your delivery apps and POS to identify key integrations. From there, building the custom dashboard takes about 4-6 weeks, including testing for real-time accuracy. Once live, you'll see immediate value—like tracking order spikes during dinner rushes. We've done this for kitchens just like yours, ensuring minimal downtime. And remember, it's built to scale, so as you add more virtual brands, it grows without a hitch.

What data sources does the platform integrate with for ghost kitchens?

We connect directly with major delivery platforms like Uber Eats, DoorDash, and Postmates, plus your POS system (think Toast or Square) and inventory tools. This pulls in order details, timestamps, and sales data for a complete picture. For example, if you're running multiple brands from one kitchen, we unify everything to show per-brand performance. No manual uploads needed—it's all automated. We've handled setups with up to five apps running simultaneously, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks. This visibility helps you spot issues, like a slow partner affecting ratings, right away.

Can this dashboard help with inventory management in a high-volume ghost kitchen?

Absolutely. Our custom setup tracks stock levels in real time against incoming orders, flagging shortages before they halt production—like alerting you when sauce runs low mid-shift. Using historical data, it even forecasts needs based on trends, such as weekend surges. Clients have reduced waste by 20-25% by avoiding over-prep on slow days. It's tailored for perishables, with features like expiration date reminders. We integrate with tools like MarketMan if you use them, making it a seamless part of your workflow. You're not just seeing numbers; you're getting insights to optimize cash flow and efficiency.

Is the KPI platform secure for sensitive food service data?

Security is our top priority, especially with order and customer data. We use enterprise-grade encryption for all integrations and host on compliant platforms like AWS with SOC 2 standards. Access is role-based, so only authorized team members see kitchen-specific metrics. For ghost kitchens, this means protecting virtual brand details without leaks. We've built in audit logs to track changes, and regular updates keep everything patched. In one case, a client avoided a potential breach by spotting unusual access early through our alerts. You own the data, and we ensure it's fortified against common threats in the fast-paced food world.

How does this scale if my ghost kitchen operation expands to multiple locations?

Will the dashboard work on mobile for checking KPIs while managing the kitchen?

Yes, it's fully responsive for phones and tablets, so you can glance at order volumes or inventory alerts from the prep line. Swipe to see trends, tap for details—no desktop required. We've designed it for busy environments, with quick-load visuals that don't lag during peaks. One operator told us it saved them from constant app-switching, letting them focus on the rush. As you scale, mobile access ensures oversight across locations, all in one app-like interface.

What kind of support do you offer after the dashboard is built?

We provide ongoing support with a dedicated account manager for the first six months, including monthly check-ins to refine KPIs based on your evolving needs—like adding new delivery partners. Training sessions cover everything from setup to interpreting insights. Post-launch, we offer tiered maintenance plans for updates and scaling. It's not set-it-and-forget-it; we treat it like a partner in your growth. Clients appreciate how we proactively suggest tweaks, such as new widgets for seasonal trends, keeping your operations sharp year-round.
