Navigate to a cockpit
Whether you’re looking for yesterday’s Food Cost in the Kitchen cockpit or the latest Energy usage in GoGreen, you’ll use the Cockpit to explore performance in PMI.
Here’s a quick guide that works for any department or view.
1. Open the Cockpit
You can get to the cockpit in two ways:
- From the Home Screen: Click the Cockpit widget to go straight to your last-used view.
- From the Left Menu: Select Cockpit from the main navigation panel.
2. Choose Your Hotel and Department
In the top-left breadcrumb menu:
- Click to select the Hotel you’re working with.
- Then select the Department — grouped under categories like Rooms, Food & Beverage, GoGreen, M&R, etc.
3. Select the View Type (Newer Cockpits)
In newer cockpits like GoGreen, you’ll see:
- A “Selected cockpit” dropdown to choose what to focus on — e.g., Energy, Water, Waste.
- A “Category” dropdown for filtering by type — e.g., Electricity, Heating, or All.
These options adapt depending on the department and cockpit type.
4. For legacy Food Cost views
If you’re viewing a legacy Food Cost cockpit (e.g., in Kitchen):
You’ll see radio buttons below the breadcrumb to switch between:
- Labor
- Food Cost
- Food Waste
Select the one that matches what you’re analyzing.
5. Explore the Data
Once you’re in the correct cockpit view:
- Review charts, KPIs, and performance summaries.
- Click on elements (like bars or dots) to drill down into details.
- Hover over graphs for tooltips or comparisons.
Always check the top of the screen — the breadcrumb + selector combo tells you exactly where you are and lets you switch context quickly.
