This chart as text

Restaurants trading in store over the last 30 days. 30 published observations, from September 14, 2026 at 1,410 to October 13, 2026 at 1,581. Sample: 1,581 restaurants, 116,524 orders on October 13, 2026.

Every calendar day from September 14, 2026 to October 13, 2026 carries a published observation, so the line is unbroken.

7-day average: 30 calculated points, drawn only on days the published series itself has and never across a gap. It is arithmetic on Kwick365’s published daily readings, not a measurement of its own. A point near the start of this window also averages published days from up to 6 days before the window begins. Those are published readings too, but they are neither drawn on the chart nor listed in the table below.

15 dated events fall on 12 days inside this window. Each marked day is numbered on the chart; the key beneath it names the event, or counts them where several fell on one day. A mark records only that a dated event fell on that day.

Restaurants trading in store, daily through October 13, 2026, over a 30-day window. The scale covers the range of the data, not zero. Days with too little data to publish are left out. The 7-day average is calculated by Kwick365 from the published daily readings, not measured separately: each point is the mean of the days that published within the 7 calendar days ending on it. It is not drawn at all where fewer than 5 of those 7 days published, so it breaks wherever the daily line breaks and never averages across a gap. A marker shows when a dated event fell — nothing more. It is not evidence that the event moved the reading, and Kwick365 makes no such claim. The dates come from the Kwick365 calendar, where each one is published with its own source; the numbered marks on the chart are the dates listed beneath it. A day on which several dated events fell is marked once, with how many — naming one of them would put one source ahead of the others for no reason.

Where it publishes

A reading publishes for a place only on a day that clears 30 restaurants and 500 orders there. A row that reads “not enough data” is a place that did not clear it on this day — never a zero, never an estimate.
