Cut overstaffed shifts
Line server shifts up with real scan volume instead of last month's hunch.
An early warning for the line
Guests scan 2–5 minutes before they order, so a scan spike gives the line a head start on the rush.
Weekday vs weekend
Compare Friday dinner with Tuesday lunch, or measure a 4–7 PM happy hour.
Peak hours FAQ
How does peak hour tracking work?
QRAnalytica records a timestamp for every scan. The dashboard groups those timestamps into hourly charts that show your peak dining hours for each day of the week.
Can I filter peak hours by specific days of the week?
Yes. Compare Friday dinner against Tuesday lunch, then set shift schedules and prep amounts for each day.
How do menu scans line up with kitchen orders?
Guests usually scan the menu 2 to 5 minutes before they order. When scans spike on your dashboard, your kitchen knows orders are about to hit the POS.
Can peak hour analytics help with Happy Hour promotions?
Yes. Measure scans during a 4 PM to 7 PM happy hour to see whether the promotion is working, and point codes at a separate drinks menu during your busiest drink hours.
Is peak hour data included in the standard plan?
Yes. Hourly scan analytics, day-of-week breakdowns, and device tracking all come with the $39/month Professional plan, which has a 7-day free trial.
