Summary of Changes
New:
We have added the Staff Cost Trend graph to the Dashboard by copying it from the existing Staff Summary module. The graph is placed before the Profitability graph for improved landing-page visibility and insight grouping.
Roles Impacted
  • Restaurant Owners
  • Operations Managers
  • Finance & Accounts Teams
  • Area Managers
Value Added
This enhancement brings three key insights: Staff Cost, Sales, and Headcount, together in a single visual on the dashboard.
It helps users quickly understand labour cost patterns, correlate them with sales movements, and view headcount impact without switching screens.
Change Details
  • Copied the existing Staff Cost Trend graph from: Staff Summary → Staff Cost Trend
  • Added the same graph to the Dashboard section.
  • Positioned the graph before the Profitability graph to ensure labour
  • related insights appear earlier in the user journey.
  • The added graph displays three metrics together:
  1. Staff Cost (bar)
  2. Sales (bar)
  3. Head Count (line)
  • No change made to the visual representation or underlying data logic.
Assumptions & Limitations
  • Assumes all sites have valid Staff Cost, Sales, and Headcount data available.
  • The graph inherits the same filters and date logic used in Staff Summary.
  • There are no drill-down enhancements added in this release as existing interactions remain unchanged.
Impact
  • Medium UX impact – Dashboard becomes more informative and insight-rich on first load.
  • Positive operational impact – Users can correlate staff expenditure with sales more quickly.
  • No performance impact – Graph loading time is unchanged as it reuses existing components.
