๐What the Bridge is
The Bridge is your private owner/operator dashboard โ the one place to see how the business is really doing and what needs you. It's internal: just you and Dora. Password-gated.
๐ฑGROW โ what it keeps you focused on
Every part of the Bridge ladders up to GROW. It's one chain โ invest in each, in order, and the next one grows:
G โ GroundworkYour people. Happy, growing, supported staff.
R โ RelationshipsYour customers. Loyal, happy, returning.
O โ OpportunitiesRevenue. Bookings, campaigns, growth.
W โ WealthProfit. Margin, cash, lasting value.
๐งญGetting around
The left navigation always stays put โ it's your home base. Click any section to open it in the main area. Nothing takes over the whole screen.
- Business Vitals โ the homepage. Top-line numbers + the GROW focus line.
- People & Payroll โ management view: labor cost, pay runs, the staff roster. Tap any staff name to open their profile.
- Employee Profile โ one staff member's page: performance, training, pay, HR documents. (Drills down from People & Payroll.)
- Finance & Accounting โ P&L, the forecast-vs-actual scorecard, the 2025 comparison.
- Marketing โ strategy, campaigns, and the 14-Day Social Plan, as tabs across the top.
- Franchise / Industry Reads โ growth intelligence and the DFW target list.

๐Access
The Bridge opens with the owner password. The staff-facing Employee Profile login will use the staff logins we already have, once we introduce that page to the team.
