Turntable Ops
Cue Sheets.
A report is one you make. A cue is one we publish for you, on a date, that you can read on the page or take as a PDF.
What's a Cue Sheet?
A standing read that turns anything you need to watch into a routine.
Pick an area of focus. It might be a promotion you're running, a corner of the floor that keeps costing you, or a figure you were shown once and want to keep seeing. We build a sheet that reports it on your cadence. It lands at the same time every time, before you have to act on it, so reading it becomes part of how the shift opens.
A cue can be anything your own data answers. Game health this morning, a holiday against the days around it, traffic against staffing. A new cabinet's payout for a fortnight and then never again. You name the thing. The sheet is built around it.
Here's one built to monitor game health.
One morning's sheet for our demo venue, as published. The sheet carries the date it was prepared. The page in the app and this PDF are two renderings of the same figures.
How a sheet is built.
Every sheet starts with one thing you need to track, and is engineered around it.
-
You name the thing
A cabinet that keeps going down. A promotion you're running this month. Whether Saturday's staffing matches Saturday's door. What the new cabinets are paying out. You say what you need to see, and how often you need to see it.
-
We start from a template, or build a new one
Some sheets other family entertainment centers already use, like Game Health or a holiday against the days around it, and yours starts from that shape. If nothing fits, we build one to your question. A template is only ever a shape; nothing in it is another venue's data.
-
It runs on your cadence
Permanent: every morning, every Monday, the first of the month. Or temporary: every day for two weeks while you watch a change land, and then it stops. A sheet that outlives the question it answered is one people stop reading.
-
Data first, words second
Every figure is computed from your records; every sentence is composed from those figures. Each sheet carries the date it was prepared and the window it covers, and a flag says since when, so "no plays since Aug 24" is on the row, not in your head. The sheet is a log: newest first, nothing deleted.
Questions we get.
Is this a dashboard?
No. A dashboard waits for you to look. A cue is written on a date, about a date, and says what needs a look. You can still open every page underneath it.
Can I ask for a new one?
Yes. That's the point of the working sessions: you tell us what you need watched, we build it from a template or from scratch, and it lands on the sheet on the schedule you set, for as long as you need it.
Can a sheet be temporary?
Yes. "Every day for the next two weeks" is a normal request: a new game, a new price, a new schedule, watched daily while it settles and then retired. Permanent sheets are the ones that earn their place every morning.
Does it email me?
Not yet. It's on the sheet when you sign in, and the PDF is one click. Delivery by email is on the way.
What time is it ready?
The Game Health sheet publishes early each morning, after the night's data has landed, so it's there before the floor opens.
Will it flag a game that's fine?
Sometimes, and it says why: a cabinet at double its usual plays might be a stuck button or a popular game. The sheet gives you the figure and the usual beside it; deciding is yours.
Can I share it?
Download the PDF and send it to whoever needs it. Each is one page or two, built to be read on a phone in the car park.
