Overview cards

 

The top value on the Overview cards corresponds to the chosen date range, while the bottom value relates to the Comparison period.

 


The first overview section gives you key numbers that indicate your production for the selected filters, and how it compares to the comparison period selected (e.g. previous period, previous year).


* The frequency of the Overview card averages, whether daily, weekly, or monthly, depends on the duration of the selected date range.

  • Total brews: The total number of brews in your selected date range and comparison period.
  • Total dosage: The total amount of coffee you used for your selected date range and comparison period.
  • Average brews: How many brews on average per day/week/month* for your selected date range, and comparison period.
  • Average doses: How much coffee you used on average per day/week/month* for your selected date range, and comparison period.

Production over time

This graph illustrates the trend of your production over time within the specified date range and comparison period.
It is based either on your Brews or Dosage as per your set filters. This will help you gain insight into peak times, as well as growth, or decline across one or more of your locations.

The number of data points shown on the graph depends on the length of your selected date range.

For example, if you select 1 day, the graph's x-axis will show you a data point per hour; if you select 1 week, the graph will show a data point per day, etc.


 

Production per machine

This part of the report breaks down the production for each espresso machine during the chosen comparison period and set locations.
The chart is based on either your Brews or Dosage as per your set filters.

 

Underneath the chart is the machine's Production Card, indicating the Total brews, Total dose, and Top recipes for your selected date range and locations.

The Production Cards also indicate an upwardr downwardtrend, comparing either your Brews, or Dose from the selected date range with those from the previous comparison period.

The Production Cards can be sorted either by Total production or Production trend.
