Name the performance gap before dashboards, reports, or scorecards become the answer.
Restaurant performance analytics should start with the decision, metric owner, store cohort, channel, market, and internal assumptions that explain why the KPI matters.
- Performance KPIs, owner, market, store cohort, channel, menu category, and decision window are named before analytics outputs are treated as operating guidance.
- Public menu, price, promotion, competitor, delivery, and category movement is separated from buyer-owned sales, labor, traffic, margin, inventory, and campaign data.
- The first subscription setup identifies whether the output should become an executive scorecard, saved dashboard, recurring report, export, API feed, or MICT follow-up workflow.
