Take a tour of your dashboard

A quick map of every section in the KitchenRush admin sidebar — what each one does and where to start.

Updated July 4, 2026

Everything you do in KitchenRush happens in one dashboard with a sidebar of sections. Here's what each one is for, roughly in the order you'll meet them.

Note: During your 30-day trial, every section is unlocked. After the trial, a few sections depend on your plan — those are marked below.

Day-to-day operations

  • Dashboard — your restaurant at a glance: the live order queue on every plan, with revenue and order KPIs from Analytics (Pro after your trial).
  • Orders — every order in one queue; track, edit, and fulfill.
  • Catalog — your menu: categories, items, prices, photos, and modifiers.
  • KDS — the kitchen display: stations, kitchen tablets, and live tickets.
  • CRM — your customer relationships: inbox, reservations, reviews, and loyalty in one place.

Your website and brand

  • Site Builder — edit and publish your restaurant website.
  • Marketing and Growth — campaign and promotion tools (Growth requires the Growth plan).
  • Display Management — customer-facing screens like order boards and menu boards (Growth plan).
  • Branded app — your own customer mobile app (Growth plan).

Money and the back office

  • Payments & Payouts — connect Stripe, watch your balance, and manage payouts.
  • Billing — your KitchenRush plan, invoices, and upgrades.
  • Labor — staff scheduling, time clock, and PINs (Growth plan).
  • Inventory, P&L, and Analytics — deeper operations and reporting (Pro plan).
  • Locations — manage multiple locations (Pro plan).
  • Integrations and Settings — connections, hours, delivery zones, and everything else.
