Dashboard UI Redesign: Consistent Cards, Navigation & Form Actions

IQ Rest has undergone a comprehensive dashboard UI redesign. Every page now uses consistent card styling with unified border radii, a persistent sidebar navigation with accent-colored active states, and improved form pages with bottom save and delete actions. The result is a cleaner, more polished experience for managing your restaurant's digital QR menu.

Consistent Card Design Across All Pages

Every dashboard page now uses a unified DashboardCard component with consistent rounded borders, subtle background colors, and optional section headers. Analytics, billing, settings, contacts, reservation settings, and all form pages share the same visual language. Hint labels with popover tooltips replace inline description text, keeping the interface clean while still providing helpful context when needed.

Persistent Sidebar Navigation with Active States

On desktop screens, a persistent sidebar navigation is now visible on every page. The active page is highlighted with an accent color background, making it immediately clear where you are. Sub-pages like categories, items, and orders correctly highlight the parent Menu item. The sidebar includes quick access to Menu, Print QR, Reservations, Analytics, Settings, Contacts, Billing, and Support — all without leaving the current view.

Improved Form Pages with Bottom Actions

All form pages — categories, items, tables, design, settings, contacts, and reservation settings — now feature a duplicate save button at the bottom in accent color. Delete buttons appear on the left side with a muted style. This means you no longer need to scroll back to the top to save your changes. The logout button has been moved from the sidebar to the bottom of the design page, keeping the navigation focused on essential actions.

Benefits of the UI Redesign

• Unified card styling with consistent borders and backgrounds across all pages
• Persistent sidebar navigation on desktop with accent-colored active states
• Bottom save buttons on all forms — no need to scroll up to save
• Delete and save actions clearly separated — delete left, save right

Combined with the persistent sidebar navigation, managing your restaurant's digital QR menu is faster and more enjoyable than ever.
