Item Popularity
Item Popularity ranks your top 10 best-selling items separately within each shift slot — Breakfast, Lunch, Afternoon, Dinner, Late Night — with a horizontal bar showing relative quantity sold, so you can see what actually sells best in each specific service rather than a single blended ranking.
Overview
Items are grouped into five shift slot panels — Breakfast (6am–11am), Lunch (11am–3pm), Afternoon (3pm–7pm), Dinner (7pm–11pm), Late Night (11pm–6am) — each colour-coded and showing its top-selling items ranked by quantity.
Each item row shows a proportional bar (relative to the top item in that slot) and the exact quantity sold, over a selectable date range (default last 30 days).
A slot with no sales in the selected range simply doesn't render its panel, so an empty page section usually means genuinely no data for that shift rather than an error.
Before You Start
- You must have the Reports feature enabled on your plan.
- Orders need to fall within a recognised shift time band for their items to be attributed to the correct slot panel.
Step-by-Step Guide
1 Find your top sellers per shift
- Open Item Popularity with your desired date range.
- Review each shift panel's top 10 items independently — Breakfast bestsellers can differ completely from Dinner bestsellers.
2 Plan a shift-specific promotion
- Identify a slot's top-ranked items.
- Use them as anchors for a shift-specific special or combo, or conversely, promote a slower-moving item alongside a proven bestseller.
Every Field & Button, Explained
| Field / Button | What it does |
|---|---|
Shift slot panels | Breakfast, Lunch, Afternoon, Dinner, Late Night — each with its own top-10 ranking, colour and time-range label. |
Quantity bar | Proportional to the top-selling item within that same slot, not across the whole menu. |
Tips & Best Practices
- Compare the same item across shift panels — a dish popular at Lunch but absent from Dinner's top 10 might be worth featuring more prominently at dinner too, or it may simply not suit that service.
- Use a 30-day (or longer) range for a stable ranking — a single day can be skewed by one large order.
