A target, and how far along you are. Live.
Setting one
Add Goal. Pick the period first — Daily, Weekly or Monthly — then:
Type — Revenue, Guests, Checks, or Product.
Target — an amount in dollars for Revenue, a count for Guests and Checks.
For Product, the form changes: search for the menu item, then set a target quantity. Fifty of a dish, not fifty dollars of it.
Save.
Goals are per venue. Set them where the number is earned.
Watching it
Each goal is a card: the target, where you are, the percentage, and a bar.
$4,503 / $5,000 at 90% means the day is nearly there. The bar moves during service.
Manage Goals lists everything you have set, to edit or remove.
The four types
Revenue — the obvious one. Net sales against a number.
Guests — covers. Different question from revenue: a room can hit its money on fewer people at higher spend, and that is worth knowing.
Checks — bills. Volume rather than value.
Product — a specific menu item, by quantity. How many plates should leave the kitchen.
Revenue is where most people start. Guests is often the more honest one.
Setting a number that means something
A target you always hit is decoration. A target you never hit is noise.
Start from AI Forecast or last month's actuals, then decide whether you are asking for more. A goal is a decision, not a prediction — the forecast says what will probably happen, the goal says what you want to happen.
If you find yourself moving the goal after the fact, it was not a goal.
Daily, weekly, monthly
Daily is for the floor. A number the room can see and beat tonight.
Weekly absorbs one bad Tuesday. Better for judging whether something is working.
Monthly is for the business. Nobody changes their behaviour at 3pm because of a monthly target.
You can run all three. They do not interfere.
Product goals
The one people forget.
If you launched a dish, a product goal tells you whether it landed — without digging through Item Analysis every day. Search the item, set the quantity, watch the bar, decide at the end of the month.
Quantity rather than revenue is the right unit here. A dish that sells thirty a night is working, whatever it is priced at.
