This chart as text

In-store ticket over the last 365 days. 233 published observations, from January 2, 2026 at $36.41 to November 1, 2026 at $39.84. Sample: 34 restaurants, 4,300 orders on November 1, 2026.

This series is not continuous. It is drawn as 36 separate lines with 35 gaps between them, and no line is drawn across a gap. The longest gap is 4 days, between January 9, 2026 and January 14, 2026. Days with too little data to publish are left out rather than filled in.

7-day average: 189 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 233 observations by calendar month. Every figure in it is a published day, named by its own date.

In-store ticket, daily through November 1, 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.

Price indexes here

A price index needs 30 matching menu items from 15 restaurants in the same place on the same day, so most dishes publish nationally long before they publish locally. Nothing is estimated for the ones that have not.
