Customer Hub provides customizable dashboards and drill-down reporting for sales, inventory, labor, customers, and multiple locations. A cloud back office supports remote POS access and management of menus, employees, inventory, and locations. The mobile app shows sales, ticket times, open tickets, void usage, and staff performance.
