Three screens, three different questions. Knowing which is which saves a lot of scrolling.
The dashboard: how is today going?
Today sales, compared against your recent average so the figure means something, with a two-week trend beside it. A needs-attention card lists what is unresolved: open tabs, unpaid bills, stock running out. Below that, how the month is pacing, your best sellers and the state of the floor. Owners of a main shop also get an all-branches tab.
The day book: what happened, and when?
Orders grouped by day, with a count and a total per day, as a timeline of time, status, context and amount. Search covers the customer and the caller, so "the man who rang about the momo order" is findable. Open any order to see its receipt and its journey: opened, payments, settled or cancelled, with notes and payment proof. Keyboard arrows move through the list, which is faster than a mouse when you are looking for one bill.
The cash book: where did the money go?
Takings over any date range, with presets for today, yesterday, this week, this month, last month, the last 30 days, this quarter and this year. It splits takings by payment method, so cash counted in the drawer can be checked against the cash line and your wallet total against your wallet statement. Discounts, free items and VAT are shown separately rather than buried in a net figure.
Which number do I trust?
For what you earned, read the cash book. For what you are owed, read the customers screen, because a sale on udharo is revenue today and cash later. A shop can have its best month on paper and still be short of money, and comparing those two screens is how you spot it before the rent is due.
