What is a
Food and Beverage Sales Dashboard
? Food & Beverage (F&B) Dashboards are considered sales analysis tools and are used by Finance teams and F&B managers to analyze sales by location and F&B category. Some of the main functionality in this type of dashboard is that it enables comparative analysis from four different perspectives: 1) Current season F&B sales by location (i.e. restaurant or stand), 2) Current season ranked sales by food or beverage category, 3) Current season versus last season sales by F&B location, and 4) Current season versus last season ranked sales by F&B category. Using the filters on the top of the screen, the user can filter by year, regular season/pre-season/post-season as well as Home/Away games. You find an example of this type of dashboard below.
Purpose of
Food & Beverage Sales Dashboards Professional sports organizations use Food & Beverage Sales Dashboards to gives managers a clear and simple way to monitor revenues from the restaurants and stands at their venue. When used as part of good business practices in Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) and F&B departments, an organization can improve its revenues, and it can reduce the chances that underperforming locations or F&B items are not quickly detected and reviewed.
