Flying Blind Costs You Money
Too many restaurant owners make decisions based on gut feelings instead of data. Which menu items are actually profitable? Which servers are driving the most revenue? Is your labor cost percentage where it should be? Without real-time analytics, you're guessing—and guessing is expensive.
SkyTab's Lighthouse dashboard puts every metric at your fingertips. See what's working, spot what's not, and make data-driven decisions that improve your bottom line.
Your Daily Snapshot
Every morning, Lighthouse shows you exactly where your restaurant stands — sales, labor, menu performance, and trends. No digging through spreadsheets.

Decisions This Data Helps You Make
Real numbers lead to real action. Here are four decisions Lighthouse data makes obvious.
Tuesday lunch labor is 35% → Cut one server from Tuesday schedule.
Chicken parm outsells veal 4:1 → Drop the veal, add second chicken option.
Server A $48/ticket, Server B $31 → Coach Server B on appetizer upsells.
Online orders spike 40% on Fridays → Add dedicated expo station for digital orders.
Know Your Best Sellers
Lighthouse tracks every menu item — quantity sold, revenue generated, and trends over time. See which dishes drive profit and which ones take up menu space without earning their keep. Compare performance across lunch vs. dinner, weekday vs. weekend, or dine-in vs. online orders.
Use this data to engineer a menu that maximizes margin — not just one that fills seats. Drop low performers, promote high-margin items, and adjust pricing based on real demand instead of guesswork.
Take It With You
Lighthouse is cloud-based — access your dashboard from your phone, tablet, or any computer with a browser. Check your sales during your kid's soccer game, review labor costs from home after close, or pull up last week's numbers during a meeting with your accountant.
Reports export to PDF or sync directly with QuickBooks — so your accountant gets clean data without you manually entering a single number.
