What's new? 

The Locations Dashboard is the new landing page for Baristas and Head Baristas. 

It replaces the Barista Onsights page, offering a clearer view of: 

  • Your location
  • Telemetry Insights and Inventory Insights 
  • Tasks
  • Active recipes at your location
  • Dial-ins (connected espresso machines or manual)

Both the Location Dashboard and Operations Fleet Dashboard are optimized for mobile use. 

 

Navigating to the Location Dashboard 

By following the steps below, you can easily navigate to the Location Dashboard: 

  1. Log in to the online platform C-sar.
  2. Navigate to Cafe on the main menu bar. 
  3. You will be directed to the Operations Fleet Dashboard. Switch to the Locations Dashboard.
    This step isn't needed for Baristas and Head Baristas, as they're taken directly to the Location Dashboard. 


Exploring the sections of the Location Dashboard 

 

Your day at

When you access the Locations Dashboard, make sure you select your Location by clicking on the dropdown. 

This step is essential, as your selected location determines the data displayed on the Location Dashboard.

 


Telemetry Insights and Inventory Insights 
 

Permission is required to view these two tabs. 

 


When you click on these tabs, you will see the Telemetry Insights and Inventory Insights that correspond to your selected location.


Tasks

All tasks linked to your selected location appear here.

This section displays three categories of tasks:

  1. Last 7 days
  2. Today
  3. Next 7 days 

When you click on a task category, the corresponding tasks appear on the Task Board. 
You can also access the Task Board by clicking on the ">" (chevron).
