Brigade Kitchen Dashboard Template
Brigade is a single-file HTML dashboard that runs a restaurant dinner service: ticket times, station load, food cost, staffing, and the 86 board on one screen.
Brigade is a restaurant kitchen dashboard template delivered as one self-contained HTML file. It shows the live state of a dinner service at a fictional restaurant, Juniper & Ash: 84 covers booked, 61 seated including 6 bar walk-ins, 7 tickets open, and a service clock reading 19:47. Five tabs, Service, Tickets, Menu & 86, Food Cost, and Staffing, organize the operation from the pass to the tip pool in one file you open in a browser.
The Service tab centers on the ticket rail. Four KPI chips track average open ticket against a 12:00 fire-to-pass target, longest open ticket, covers seated, and tickets open. Below them a covers pace chart plots seated covers per 15 minutes against the forecast, and a histogram shows 57 closed tickets against the 8 to 12 minute target band. The Tickets tab logs the last 8 bumped tickets with table, items, fire-to-pass time, expo, and variance vs target. The Menu & 86 tab carries a menu-mix quadrant over 28 days and an 86 board with 3 items down. The Food Cost tab charts COGS over 8 weeks against a 28% target, lists $2,365.46 in open supplier invoices, and flags 5 ingredients by usage variance. The Staffing tab holds the rota, a live labor percentage against sales, and a tip pool split 60/25/15 across FOH, kitchen, and bar.

Who Brigade is for
Brigade serves head chefs and executive chefs, who use the Service tab during service to watch ticket times and decide when to pull someone off garnish to plate.
Expeditors work the ticket rail and the closed-ticket log, checking which tables are running over the 12 minute target.
Restaurant owners and general managers read the Food Cost tab weekly: COGS against the 28% target, supplier invoices past terms, and ingredient variance with likely causes.
FOH managers use the covers pace chart and tip pool panel to plan seating and close out the pool.
When to reach for it
Brigade fits kitchens where the pass runs on paper and a whiteboard. The template replaces the mental math of ticket timing with a distribution chart and per-station load counts.
It also fits the weekly cost review. Instead of rebuilding a food cost spreadsheet every Sunday, the Food Cost tab already pairs theoretical vs actual usage by ingredient with the invoice list, so the review starts from the numbers.
It suits single-venue restaurants, pop-ups, and catering kitchens that want a service board without buying restaurant management software or wiring up a BI tool.
Frequently asked questions
Is Brigade a point-of-sale system?
No, Brigade is a service data display, not a point-of-sale system; it does not record orders. Brigade ships with realistic sample data for a dinner service, and you swap in your own numbers by editing the single HTML file.
What does the Food Cost tab actually show?
The Food Cost tab shows a COGS chart for the trailing 8 weeks against a 28% target, an open supplier invoice list of $2,365.46, and a variance table for 5 ingredients comparing theoretical and actual usage with a likely-cause note for each gap.
Can I change the stations, targets, and menu items?
Yes, you can change the stations, targets, and menu items. Station names, the 8 and 12 minute targets, dish names, and all figures are plain values in the file's markup and script. You edit them in any text editor, save, and reload the browser, with no build step or server required.
Does the dashboard work on a kitchen display or tablet?
Yes, Brigade works on a kitchen display or tablet. Brigade is a single HTML file that runs in any modern browser, on a wall-mounted screen at the pass or a tablet on the expo station. The layout is responsive and the top banner keeps service stats visible while scrolling.
