Hourly Sales Report
The Hourly Sales report shows your revenue, order count, and average order value (AOV) hour by hour across the chosen date range. Use it to staff for the rush, prep ingredients ahead of peaks, and avoid scheduling people through the dead zones.
What you'll see
For each hour in the date range:
- Sales — gross revenue rung up that hour.
- Order count — how many orders were processed.
- Average Order Value (AOV) — sales ÷ orders.
- Trend line — revenue over the entire range, hour-by-hour.
The chart aggregates across all selected days. If you pick a 7-day range, hour 12 is the sum of every 12 PM in the range.
How to use it
Open the report
Sidebar → Reports → Hourly Sales.
Pick a date range that reflects your normal week
A single day shows that day's pattern; a 7-day range averages a typical week; a 30-day range smooths over special events. Use 7 days for routine staffing decisions.
Compare against another period
Use the comparison toggle to overlay the prior week or month. If your peak just shifted later, you'll see it immediately on the trend line.
Cross-reference with the Sales Heatmap
The Sales Heatmap (also under Reports) shows the same data on a 7×24 day-of-week grid — useful for spotting weekend-only peaks or Monday slumps that an averaged hourly chart would smooth out.
What to look for
- Clear peak hours — schedule your most experienced staff there. Consider a pre-rush prep block 30 minutes before.
- Low-volume hours — a great time for cleaning, restocking, or trialling promotions. Don't over-staff.
- AOV by hour — late-night orders often have higher AOV (groups, bigger meals); morning orders are usually quick singles. Adjust upsell prompts accordingly.
- Sudden spike or drop vs comparison range — usually a marketing event, weather, or a holiday. Worth annotating in your shift log.
