Seeking Better a Dashboard

BURRITO — Mon, 09 Jan 2023 19:45:36 GMT

Hi all! I'm seeking a more advanced and customizable dashboard vs. the stock homescreen provided by Toast. Ideally, I would like to set a web browser or app to auto-refresh every "x" minutes, etc. w/ sales, food costs, labor costs, etc. info. Has anyone found a dashboard and/or app that functions w/ Toast with similar functionality?

For web browsers, I think you are able to make them auto-refresh by using extensions/add-ons.

Auto-refresh is not a great solution. I have already tried using the Chrome plugins. It's a very poor crutch to lean on in search of a better, long-term solution.

Look at this screenshot.... keep refreshing three KPI's? Not ideal.

What kinds of things would you be looking for? Just curious, I have been messing around with making my own extensions, using the API etc lately. Like this one that adds historical weather data on the report page, helps add some context to the numbers for that day. Weather is always a factor, sometimes i'll be looking at old reports and they seem way off, a lot of times there was a snow storm or cold snap, but I don't remember that!
