Sports – Food & Beverage Dashboard

What is a Food and Beverage Sales Dashboard? Food & Beverage (F&B) Sales Dashboards are considered revenue analysis tools and are used by venue managers and financial managers to monitor key sales metrics related to F&B revenues from venues and events/games. Some of the main functionality in this type of dashboard is that it displays charts focused on vendors, food and beverage categories, payments and service level. Information includes: 1) Each vendor's percent of total F&B sales, 2) Time to serve versus quantity sold, 3) Payment methods used, 4) Sales ranked by vendors, 5) Revenue ranked by F&B category, and 6) F&B sales by event/game. You find an example of this type of dashboard below.

When used as part of good business practices in Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) departments, a company can improve its revenues and optimize decisions related to venue restaurants, and it can reduce the chances that poor performing vendors and F&B categories lead to sub-optimized sales.
