This dashboard is built on pivot tables and slicers, so every chart updates dynamically when you refresh your data. No VBA, no complex setup — just paste your data and hit Refresh All.
What’s Inside This Dashboard
1. Overview Page
Get a bird’s-eye view of your entire food truck operation. The top section features KPI cards showing:

Below the cards, interactive charts provide deeper insights:
- Total Revenue Vs Total Ingredient Cost by Menu Category – Compare how much each menu category earns against its ingredient spend to spot your most and least profitable categories at a glance.

Multiple slicers let you filter the entire dashboard by truck, location, menu category, and more.
