Video tutorial (2:13): [Android: the Owner app on your personal phone](https://media.bakasir.com/bakasir-media/docs-video/android-owner-app/android-owner-app.mp4), subtitles: https://media.bakasir.com/bakasir-media/docs-video/android-owner-app/android-owner-app.en.vtt



As an Owner you do not have to stand at the counter to know how the business is doing. This tutorial sets up your own phone as the **Owner personal phone** and shows what you can read. It takes about 4 minutes.

## Before you start

- You have the Owner login of the business (or a Manager login).
- Your plan includes the mobile business app. If it does not, the app tells you.
- The phone runs Android 10 or newer. See [Install and pair](https://docs.bakasir.com/en/docs/android/install-and-pair.md) for installing the app.

## Steps




### Choose Owner personal phone

After the welcome slides, on **How will this device be used?**, tap **Owner personal phone**.




### Sign in with your account

Tap **Continue with Google**, or type your **Email or ID** and **Password** and tap **Sign in**. If asked, type the 6 digit **Authenticator code** and tap **Verify**. Use the account you use in the Bakasir Portal.




### Read the Business screen

The **Business** home opens with **How your outlets are doing**. The blue card shows sales for the chosen period and the number of transactions and profit.




### Choose the period

Switch between **Today**, **7 days** and **30 days**. All numbers on the screen follow your choice.




### Choose an outlet

Tap **All outlets** to look at a single outlet instead. The sales and profit of each outlet are also listed under **By outlet**.




### Check today at a glance

Scroll to **Today at a glance**: **New customers**, **Payment mix today**, **Low stock** and **Open cashiers** (who has a register open right now).




### Check updates

Tap the bell for **Updates**: low stock alerts, subscription notices and approval requests you can **Approve** or **Decline**. Tap your name at the top right for **Settings** and **Sign out**.




The phone stays signed in until you sign out. Tap **Refresh** on the Business screen to reload.

## If the screen says Business app locked

Your plan does not include the mobile business app. Upgrade the plan in the Bakasir Portal under **Billing**, then reload.

## Owner or Manager on a cashier terminal

When an Owner or Manager signs in on a cashier terminal with a PIN, they can also read the business numbers. Managers always get three extra tiles on the Home screen, **Dashboard**, **Analytics** and **Reports**, next to the cashier tiles. Staff never see them.

For the Owner it depends on the Portal setting **Allow Owner to operate the cashier?**, under **Settings → Business**. When it is on, the Owner gets the normal cashier Home with the same three tiles. When it is off, the Owner gets an owner home built around the Dashboard, with buttons for **Analytics** and **Reports**, and no POS. See [Owner mode on Desktop](https://docs.bakasir.com/en/docs/desktop/owner-mode.md).

What each tile shows:

- **Dashboard:** sales, profit, transactions and average sale compared with the last period, payment methods, peak hours, top products, low stock and activity.
- **Analytics:** **Store performance**, **Cash flow**, **Profit & loss**, **Inventory turnover** and **Insights**. The last two show **(locked)** until their plugins are active.
- **Reports:** **Z-report**, **Sales**, **Products**, **Brands**, **Categories**, **Cash registers**, **Refunds & returns**, **Inventory**, **Customers** and **Staff**.

Choose the date with **Today**, **Yesterday**, **7 days**, **30 days**, **This month**, **Last month** or **Custom**, then **Apply**.

## Tips

- **Same numbers as the Portal.** The app reads the same reports as the Portal, see [Dashboard](https://docs.bakasir.com/en/docs/portal/dashboard.md) and [Reports](https://docs.bakasir.com/en/docs/portal/reports.md).
- **Locked reports.** Install the missing plugin from the marketplace, see [Extensions](https://docs.bakasir.com/en/docs/commerce/extensions.md).
