# Stats, Period Filter, and Branch Scope

> Learn how to use the period filter, switch between branch views, and read the quick stat cards and sales chart on the oFatoura dashboard.

The dashboard gives you a real-time snapshot of how your restaurant is performing. The period filter, branch scope toggle, stat cards, and sales chart all work together — change any one of them and everything else updates automatically.

## Permissions

Which sections you see depends on your role:

* **Order count and period filter** — requires permission to view orders
* **Earnings, customer count, and sales chart** — requires permission to view reports and orders
* **Customer count card** — also requires permission to view customers
* **Quick links grid** — each shortcut appears only when you have the matching permission and the relevant module is active for your account

## Choosing a time period

The period filter sits below the dashboard title. Click any option to instantly refresh all stats and charts:

| Option       | What it covers                 |
| ------------ | ------------------------------ |
| Today        | From midnight to now           |
| Yesterday    | The full previous calendar day |
| Last 7 days  | Rolling seven-day window       |
| Last 30 days | Rolling thirty-day window      |
| All time     | Every record in your account   |

<Tip>
  Your last selection is saved in your browser for 30 days, so the dashboard reopens on the same period next time — even after closing the tab.
</Tip>

Each stat card and the sales chart also show a percent-change badge comparing the current period to the equivalent period immediately before it (e.g. today vs. yesterday, last 7 days vs. the 7 days before that). A positive badge means performance is up; negative means it is down.

## Viewing one branch or all branches

If your account has more than one branch, a toggle appears in the top-right corner of the dashboard header. It shows either your current branch name or the total number of branches.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the branch selector">
    Click the branch toggle in the dashboard header.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose your scope">
    Select **your current branch** to see figures for that location only, or select **All branches** to see combined totals across every location.
  </Step>
</Steps>

The page refreshes automatically when you switch scope. All stat cards, the sales chart, and breakdown cards update to reflect your selection.

<Note>
  This toggle only appears when your account has multiple branches. Single-branch accounts always show figures for their one location.
</Note>

## Quick stat cards

Four cards sit in a grid below the filter pills. They all respond to the period filter and branch scope you have selected.

<Columns cols={2}>
  <Card title="Order count" icon="receipt">
    Total orders placed in the selected period. Canceled and draft orders are not counted.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Earnings" icon="circle-dollar-sign">
    Revenue received for the period, based on completed payments.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Customer count" icon="users">
    Unique customers who placed at least one order during the period.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Average daily earning" icon="chart-bar">
    Total earnings for the period divided by the number of days, giving a day-by-day average.
  </Card>
</Columns>

Each card shows its current value at the top and a percent-change badge underneath, so you can see at a glance whether you are trending up or down compared to the prior period.

***

## Sales chart

Below the stat cards, a chart plots your daily revenue across the selected period. The horizontal axis shows dates and the vertical axis shows the sales amount for each day. Only paid orders are included in these figures.

The chart also displays the total earnings for the period and the percent change versus the previous equivalent period, giving you an easy trend line to spot busy or slow stretches.

***

## At-a-glance quick links

A grid of shortcut buttons appears prominently on the dashboard, above the main stats. Each button takes you directly to a key area of the system — for example, the POS, orders list, reports, staff management, customers, or settings.

<Note>
  You will only see buttons for areas your role can access and for modules that are active on your account. If a button is missing, either the module is not enabled or your role does not have the required permission for that area.
</Note>
