Guava's financial dashboard showing real-time forecasts and metrics

Accounting tells you what you lost 30 days ago.
Guava tells you what you'll lose in 8 weeks.

Every day of delay in detecting cash flow problems costs €200-500 in wrong decisions. Monthly accounting closure means seeing problems 30-45 days late. Weekly forecasting means adjusting 6-8 weeks before running short.

See where the money is going, clearly.

When costs are visible, margins start to make sense. Automatically categorize every dollar.

Predicted labor cost per day vs surprise at month-end

Correlate shifts, hours worked, and sales to predict daily labor cost. Detect overstaffing 2-4 weeks before payroll vs finding out at month-end. Every saved labor cost point = €300-400/month in a 30K revenue location.

Anticipation vs Reaction

Seeing you're 4 points above target in week 2 gives you 2 weeks to adjust. Seeing it at month-end means you already spent €400-600 extra.

Guava explains deviations automatically.

Costs are increasing 15% more than forecasted this week.

Mainly due to price increases from Company X's suppliers and higher than expected overtime on Tuesday.

Revenue target is at risk for October.

Based on current booking pace, you're projected to miss the target by €12k. Consider a mid-month promotion.

You don't forecast manually. You get explanations.

Set goals that make sense.

Goals stop being abstract. Set specific goals for revenues, profit margin, or labor cost ratios. Guava tracks progress daily.
