The figures

• Busiest hour: the hour with the most, on a usual day.

• Quietest open hour: the quietest hour that sold while the shop was open. One late sale never opens the shop at 1am.

• Takings on a usual day: the takings divided by the days counted.

• Days in the range: how many of those days the shop traded on.

Busiest days in the range

The dates that took the most, each with its busiest hour and its takings, and named when it was erev Shabbat or erev Yom Tov. Press a date to see that day's hours.

When it is still filling in

Isletek reads only the dates you ask for, from your tills, through the shop PC. The first time you look at some dates, the page shows what it has and says Reading these dates from your tills…, then fills in by itself. If the shop PC is off, or needs an update, the page says so.
