Test Kitchen- Trends Console

The Trends Console is a new reporting experience designed to help restaurant Operators and General Managers answer two critical questions: “How am I doing?” and “How could I be doing better?”

By combining easy-to-read charts with AI-powered insights, the Console empowers operators to spot trends, understand anomalies, and take meaningful action without relying on spreadsheets, multiple tools, or hours of manual digging.

Accessible directly from the Reports section, Trends Console provides time-based visualizations for key Sales and Labor metrics, including comparisons like “Today vs. Last Week” and “This Month vs. Last Month.” When performance shifts, the system may surface brief, actionable insights to help operators interpret the data and decide next steps. The first release focuses on single-location support, with insights tailored to the selected timeframe and metric.

Key capabilities:

• Clear, at-a-glance visualizations of Sales and Labor trends
• AI insights that try to help explain performance shifts or anomalies
• Hourly and daily breakdowns to identify patterns or issues
• Filters to help operators compare trends between different time periods, e.g., today to yesterday, or today to the same day last week

This is just our first step toward delivering a richer, more powerful trends experience. Over time, we’ll be expanding the Console to include more data types, deeper comparisons, and more insights—helping operators uncover new opportunities to improve performance across their business.
