Most owners drown in reports and starve for insight. The truth is that a handful of live numbers will tell you almost everything about how a shift is going while you can still change it.
A report you read next week is history. The same numbers on a live dashboard let you nudge a special, re-stock a runaway seller or step in on a spike of refunds during the same service.
