Navigating the Dashboard

Overview

The Dashboard is your command center in CheddrSuite. It gives you a real-time snapshot of your restaurant's performance, staffing status, inventory alerts, and AI-powered insights — all in one place.

Step 1: Log In and Access the Dashboard

Go to app.cheddrsuite.com and log in with your credentials. The Dashboard loads automatically as your home screen.

Step 2: Review Your AI Briefing

At the top of the Dashboard, you'll see the AI Briefing section. This shows a daily summary greeting with your name, date, and an AI-generated overview. Click the sun icon panel to expand or collapse it.

Step 3: Check the Four Key Summary Cards

Below the AI Briefing, four summary cards provide at-a-glance data:

• Sales – Today's POS sales data
• Staffing – Pending shift trade or time-off requests
• Inventory – Low stock alerts and SKUs below par
• Alerts – Critical alerts requiring your attention

Click any card's arrow (→) to navigate directly to that section.

Step 4: Use the CheddrAI Assistant

Scroll down to find the CheddrAI Assistant chat panel. Type any question about your sales, schedule, or inventory — or click one of the suggested prompt buttons to get an instant AI-generated answer.

Step 5: Navigate Using the Left Sidebar

Use the left navigation icons to move between modules: Dashboard, Manager Log, Schedule, Timeclock, Inventory & Menu, Messages, Staff, Documents, Vendors, Reports, Settings, and Profile.

Step 6: Switch Locations (If Applicable)

If you manage multiple locations, click your location name (e.g., "Joe's Diner") in the top-left to switch between locations from the dropdown menu.
