Your Glabs analytics dashboard is packed with valuable information. But what do all these numbers actually mean for your business?
Key Metrics to Watch
**Average Order Value (AOV)**: This tells you how much each customer spends on average. Track this over time — if it's decreasing, consider your menu pricing or upselling strategies.
**Order Completion Rate**: What percentage of orders are successfully delivered vs cancelled? A rate below 90% warrants investigation.
**Peak Hours**: Knowing your busiest times helps with staff scheduling and inventory management.
**Payment Method Distribution**: Understanding whether customers prefer cash vs card helps with cash flow management.
