This chart as text

In-store ticket over the last 365 days. 363 published observations, from October 14, 2025 at $30.53 to October 13, 2026 at $31.45. Sample: 1,581 restaurants, 116,524 orders on October 13, 2026.

This series is not continuous. It is drawn as 3 separate lines with 2 gaps between them, and no line is drawn across a gap. The longest gap is 1 day, between November 26, 2025 and November 28, 2025. Days with too little data to publish are left out rather than filled in.

7-day average: 363 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.

This window is too long to list day by day, so the table groups the 363 observations by calendar month. Every figure in it is a published day, named by its own date.

In-store ticket, daily through October 13, 2026, over a 365-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. Dated events are not marked on this window — across 365 days a single day is far too narrow for a mark to point at one. They are marked on the 7- and 30-day windows, and the calendar lists every one of them with its source.

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.
