Sales by Time

Overview

• Sales by Time is an Advanced Report for hourly/daily demand patterns and previous-period comparison.
• The chart/report uses the selected Business timezone and can overlay/consider configured Store operating hours.
• Weekday filtering allows comparisons such as Mondays only rather than mixing different trading patterns.
• Hourly reporting is useful for demand shape; daily reporting is better for longer comparisons.

When to use this

• Use this when planning prep/staffing windows, checking early/late trading value, or comparing the same weekdays across periods.

Step-by-step

1. Choose Store and date range.
2. Choose Hour or Day granularity.
3. Optionally select weekdays.
4. Compare peaks with Store opening hours.
5. Use previous-period context before changing operating hours.

Common mistakes

• Do not compare an hourly Monday pattern with a mixed seven-day period.
• Do not assume a zero-sales hour means the Store was open; compare operating hours.
• Do not use one unusually busy event day as the sole basis for a permanent staffing change.

Troubleshooting

• If an expected hour is absent, verify timezone and the recognised Payment time.
• If operating-hours context looks wrong, correct Store Hours rather than adjusting report data.
