Consolidated Analytics – Chain Level

As a chain owner, you want to see the whole: how is the franchise network performing? Which units perform best? Which products sell most across the chain? Vendion's consolidated analytics gives you the answers on one screen.

Where to find it

At /chain/:slug/ (Dashboard) and /chain/:slug/analytics (detailed view).

What's on the Dashboard

Four KPI cards at top:

Below KPIs: restaurant list (clickable) with name, city, org number, and quick links.

Analytics page – details

At /chain/:slug/analytics:

1. Consolidated total:

   • Total sales
   • Orders
   • Average order value
   • Unique guests (if shared CRM)

2. Per-unit breakdown:

Badges show comparison: green if above average, red if below.

1. Top 20 items across chain:

   • Template products aggregated per product across all units (same dish at 5 units counts as one row)
   • Local-only items shown separately per restaurant
   • Columns: name, is_chain_product, qty_sold, revenue

2. Daily trend chart:

   • Line chart with daily sales over selected period
   • Can filter per unit or total

Example: Find weak units

Alice sees "Burger & Co Gothenburg" is 24% below chain average in sales. Clicks the row → lands in unit's admin. There she sees:

• Fewer orders per day than average
• Higher void frequency
• Multiple local menu changes (red badge)

She can now act:

• Check if chain menu was mispublished
• Talk to site manager
• Run targeted marketing

Example: Product rationalization

Top items list shows "Vegan Burger" sold 45 times across chain last 30 days (vs 450 for "Classic burger"). Alice can:

• Remove "Vegan Burger" from template
• Or test new pricing
• Or push marketing

Consolidated data lets her make data-driven decisions across the network.

Access control

Visibility is controlled by the right to view chain analytics. In MVP: all chain admins in the Admin group have this. Future: granular analytics roles.

How the data is aggregated

1. All member restaurants in the chain are gathered
2. Paid orders (excluding refunds) are summed for the selected period
3. Totals, per-restaurant breakdown, and daily trend calculated
4. Top 20 items grouped per template product so the same dish at multiple units counts as one row

Per-unit reports

Beyond chain-consolidated, chain admin can jump into unit's regular analytics (/admin/analytics) via capability inheritance. There are traditional reports: sales per hour, payment methods, category data, top servers, etc.

Limitations today

• Real-time: KPIs update on page load; no push notification on changes
• Period comparison: not in MVP (planned)
• Export to CSV/Excel: planned
• Forecasts: not in MVP
• Benchmark against other chains: never (data protection)

Date range picker

On the analytics page you can choose period:

• Last 7 days (default)
• Last 30 days
• Last 90 days
• Last 12 months
• Custom range

Why is this powerful?

Before chain functionality, franchise owners needed to:

• Log in separately per unit
• Run 5 different reports
• Manually sum in Excel
• No unified comparison

With Vendion chain: one screen, real-time data, automatic unit comparison.

Mobile view

Consolidated analytics works on mobile but optimized for desktop/tablet. KPI cards and trend show well; per-unit table becomes horizontally scrollable.
