# How to navigate your partner dashboard
Your dashboard at https://www.privatechefmanager.com/extranet/agency/request/index is the operational center for all PCM activity. Bookmark it. Everything your team needs — active bookings, history, chef communication, and guest proposal links — is here.
### **Sidebar navigation**
| Section | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| Dashboard | Home view. All bookings, statuses, and actions in one table. |
| Chefs | Browse the full chef catalogue. Filter by location, view ratings, bios, and cities covered. |
| Improve your Marketplace | Submit feedback, report a problem, or request a feature. |
| Help Center | Access support documentation. |
| Logout | Sign out. |
### **Booking table — what each column means**
| Column | What it shows |
| --- | --- |
| ID | Unique booking number. Click to open full booking detail. |
| STATUS | Current state of the booking (see statuses below). |
| CREATED | Date the booking was submitted. |
| GUEST / REF | Guest name or internal reference entered at checkout. |
| SERVICE DATE | Date range of the service. |
| PRICE | Total booking value in the guest's currency. |
| SOURCE | Concierge — your team booked it. Guest — guest used your marketplace link directly. |
| CHEF | Chef photo. Appears once a chef accepts the booking. |
| PROPOSAL | ••• action menu — View, Manage, or Share. |
### **Booking statuses**
| Status | What it means |
| --- | --- |
| IN PROCESS | Active — payment received, chef assigned, service upcoming. |
| PAID | Payment confirmed. Chef assigned. |
| FINISHED | Service completed successfully. |
| CANCELLED | Booking cancelled. Price shows 0 if no charge was made. |
| EXPIRED | Request not completed — no payment or no chef found. No charge. |
### **The ••• action menu**
**View.** Opens the full proposal: service type, chef, date grid, and total price. This is the page to share with guests before arrival.
**Manage.** Access booking management: message the chef, handle requests. An orange badge appears when there are unread replies.
**Share.** Copies the proposal link to your clipboard instantly. Guests can view the proposal without logging in.
**ℹ️ Keep all chef communication on the platform via Manage.** All messages are stored and visible to PCM if a dispute arises. No WhatsApp, phone, or personal email to chefs.
### **Common FAQ**
**Can I search for a specific chef before any booking exists?**
Yes — use the Chefs section in the sidebar. Filter by location to see all chefs covering a destination. Useful for making personalised recommendations before a guest request arrives.
**What does it mean if there's no chef photo in the CHEF column?**
The chef hasn't accepted the booking yet. PCM is working on the assignment. You don't need to do anything — PCM will notify you once confirmed.
**Can my guest view the proposal without logging in?**
Yes. The proposal link (via Share) is fully accessible without an account. Guests see the chef photo, full menu, date, and price.
**Can more than one team member access the dashboard?**
Each team member should have their own login — never share credentials with colleagues or guests. For additional access, contact your PCM account manager.
**⭐ Partner Tip — Browse Chefs Before You Need Them.** The Chefs section isn't just for active bookings. Use it proactively — review profiles, menus, and ratings for your key destinations before a guest request arrives. Familiarity with the supply makes personalised recommendations faster and more confident.
