# Cash Flow Every healthy business needs a crystal clear picture of its money! Your Cash Flow dashboard lets you beautifully track exactly what's quietly coming in and what's actively going out, day by day. It’s the perfect tool for understanding your booking momentum and rapidly spotting any strange anomalies. ## How to Use the Dashboard 1. Hop in and select the exact month you're eager to review. 2. Take a quick, satisfying scan over the big totals representing your overall Cash In and Cash Out. 3. Dive straight into the handy daily table at the bottom to investigate any weird spikes or sudden dips in your activity. ## What You're Looking At Your daily metrics neatly break down the whole story: * **Date & Revenue:** Exactly how much money you scooped up on any given calendar day. * **APD (Average Per Day):** A delightfully smooth average showing your daily pacing. * **Total Bookings:** The sheer volume of reservations passing through your doors. * **Cash In vs. Out:** A direct, no-nonsense comparison of money collected versus the bills pushed out. ## Helpful Tips for Properties * Make a habit of scanning the table for multiple days lined up with high cash outflows but missing the expected matching income. Those are definitely days you want to ask questions about! * Are you seeing numbers that just don't feel right? Don't stress out at all, just immediately cross-check them against your dedicated Payment Log to trace exactly what shifted. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
