This chart as text

Items per online order over the last 90 days. 90 published observations, from July 16, 2026 at 2.0 to October 13, 2026 at 2.0. Sample: 711 restaurants, 8,791 orders on October 13, 2026.

Every calendar day from July 16, 2026 to October 13, 2026 carries a published observation, so the line is unbroken.

7-day average: 90 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.

Items per online order, daily through October 13, 2026, over a 90-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 90 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.

711 restaurants, 8,791 orders

Line items per order (not units): a single line of "3 × taco" counts once.

Where else to look: Online order channel and Ordered ahead are on Online order ticket; Online orders by hour and Online orders by weekday are on Online orders per restaurant.

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.

By metro

Items per online order by metro on October 13, 2026. Metros are approximated from each restaurant’s ZIP code.
