Hospitality – Food & Beverage Dashboard

What is a Food & Beverage Revenue Dashboard? Food and Beverage (F&B) Dashboards are considered revenue analysis tools and are used by Finance and restaurant managers to drill into revenues by looking at trends and comparing restaurants and F&B categories. Some of the main functionality in this type of dashboard is that it provides users with graphical analysis from eight different perspectives: 1) Breakfast revenue compared across restaurants, 2) Lunch revenue compared across restaurants, 3) Dinner revenue compared across restaurants, 4) Beverage revenue compared across restaurants, 5) Monthly revenue trend for breakfast revenue, 6) Monthly revenue trend for lunch revenue, 7) Monthly trend for dinner revenue, and 8) Monthly trend for beverage revenue. You find an example of this type of dashboard below.
