Rated 4.5 or better over the last 365 days. 42 published observations, from September 22, 2026 at 34.0% to November 2, 2026 at 34.0%. Sample: 1,614 restaurants with 50 or more Google reviews on November 2, 2026.

Every calendar day from September 22, 2026 to November 2, 2026 carries a published observation, so the line is unbroken.

7-day average: 38 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.

Rated 4.5 or better, daily through November 2, 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, of which 30 are rated 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.
