Let's talk Toast!
Toast is an amazing POS system for restaurants, especially when it comes to day‑to‑day sales reporting. Like any tool, it has both strengths and limitations:
✅Simple, easy‑to‑read sales reports for high-level insights
✅A wealth of your historical business data available at your fingertips
✅Convenient filters for slicing and visualizing sales data different ways
But...
❌Information is spread across many different pages, requiring more of your time to navigate and analyze
❌Hard to efficiently compare trends over time (day/week/month/year)
❌Very limited customization of visuals for specific needs (you are "stuck" with only what Toast provides you)
❌Static visuals don't allow for deeper dives
This is where my solutions come in!
👍Sales data from across multiple Toast pages are integrated into fewer tabs, saving time and confusion
👍Visuals are dynamic and "speak" to each other, allowing for deeper analysis
👍Dashboards are easy to navigate and customizable to suit your exact needs!
👍Examples of metrics provided: KPIs, sales over time (by date, day of week, week, month, quarter, year, hour, time of day), products by sales and quantity (split out by product categories), product sales over time, current vs. prior sales comparisons (by customizable date ranges/lengths) and more - if it's in Toast, I can visualize it (and better)!

Why trust Hardy Data Insights with your sales data?
📈I have over 10 years of professional experience analyzing and visualizing enterprise-level data while adhering to organizational and federal privacy laws.
🔒I use only Microsoft products with two-factor authentication, ensuring your data are protected behind one system and not accessible to any other parties.
🤝Integrity is of utmost importance in my work. My dad started a small business in Racine in the early '90s, and he believed so much in the quality of his products and the way he conducted honest business that he literally put his last name on the company name. Over 30 years later, the business is still thriving! I carry the same morals and work ethic and will stake my last name on my work to provide you with the gold standard.
🏡We love Oak Creek and the surrounding communities and love to see local small businesses thrive!

Here's a quick look at a sales dashboard created for a client, using their existing Toast sales (with data redacted, of course - your privacy is my top concern!).

If you use Toast or a similar POS, you already have access to a wealth of data, but it can be challenging and time-consuming to interpret. I can transform that data into clean visuals, making it easier to spot trends at a high-level glance, while providing interactive features that allow for a deep dive so you can fully understand what's happening in your business.

Let's talk about how these KPIs, tables, and charts can be customized for your business needs!

I’m excited to introduce Hardy Data Insights, where I build clean, user-friendly sales dashboards for restaurants, bars, and small businesses. The goal is simple: take your existing, messy POS sales data and turn it into visuals that are easy to understand and interpret, so you can spend less time digging through reports and more time running your business.

I recently completed my first Toast sales dashboard for a local small business, and it’s already helping the owner see daily/weekly/monthly/yearly trends, top‑ and low-selling items, and performance patterns more clearly.

If you’d like to see what your sales data could look like in an interactive visual format, feel free to reach out for a free, no-pressure consultation - I’m currently taking on new clients as I continue building out my portfolio!
