Find your way around the dashboard

Every sidebar row and what it holds, Ask Tamr AI with ⌘J, search with ⌘K, Service & Reservations, the Help menu, Pro marks, and the dashboard on a phone.


The dashboard is laid out down the left side in the order a restaurant thinks about its day: what is happening now, who wrote in, who your customers are, then the menu, the AI waiter and the numbers. This page walks through each part.
