I wanted to share an internal dashboard I just wrapped up using the new Retool App Builder.

The project targets a unique niche: Art Cafes & DIY Craft Studios. These businesses operate on a "Time-as-a-Service" model where customers book a 2-hour window, get basic supplies and a complimentary drink, but get charged for regular cafe snacks, premium canvases, or extra time.

Standard POS platforms don’t natively track live table occupancy time or handle mixed complimentary/paid item orders smoothly. I built this custom portal to handle the heavy lifting.

Here is a quick video walkthrough of the operational flows, live floor tracking, and dashboard settings:

Key features built completely in Retool:

Live Studio Floor/Dashboard: A clean grid layout displaying currently occupied tables, dynamically tracking group size, and color-coded status pills (Active, Completed, Unpaid).

Contextual Orders (Modals): Clicking any active card triggers a popup modal form allowing front-desk staff to instantly append food items or premium inventory directly to that specific customer's active session tab.

Back-Office Configuration & Reports: Dedicated tabs for the store owner to track key metrics (Active Sessions, Total Profits, Unpaid Orders), manage global inventory logs, and edit customer profile records.

I’d love some feedback from the community:
