Checked: which days of the week do best · busiest hours · the last 30 days, day by day
Tuesdays were slow mainly because the afternoon and evening failed to bring in their usual sales.

Tuesday was the weakest weekday, at about 63% below the daily average.
The biggest shortfall was 2–6pm, averaging ₱1,613 on Tuesdays versus ₱3,572 on an average day, about 55% lower.
Evening sales were also weak, averaging ₱100 on Tuesdays versus ₱573 on an average day, about 83% lower; morning was about 31% lower too.
The four Tuesdays ranged from ₱1,700 to ₱3,200, with Sep 1 the weakest day overall at ₱1,700 and marked as month start and payday.
What remains unexplained is whether fewer items sold, smaller sales, or a Tuesday operating pattern caused those time-slot shortfalls.

August sales were ₱173,700 versus July’s ₱177,750, a decrease of ₱4,050 or about 2%.
The entire change came from selling fewer items across the 8 products sold in both months; price changes added ₱0.
August was ₱6,635 above its estimated usual level of ₱167,065, but that estimate used only two comparable Mondays and ignored weekday and payday patterns.
What remains unexplained is whether a specific operating issue caused the lower item volume, because no promotion, closure, or event was logged for August.
What will October look like?
Checked: next month estimate
October is likely to be a mid-range sales month, but the estimate is too wide for a tight plan.

The forecast puts October sales roughly between ₱132,391 and ₱270,298, with a likely outcome around ₱186,031.
Reliability is low: the range spans 74% and rests on 112 days of sales history, checked against 78 earlier weeks.
Use the middle estimate as your planning point and keep commitments flexible.
Should I stop selling kare-kare?

Kare-kare brought in ₱28,320 from 118 items, or about 9% of sales.
It leaves you ₱7,316 after its cost, with the weakest margin at about 26%.
Weekly sales were uneven, ending at ₱3,120 versus ₱3,600 in the first week.
Move: review kare-kare’s ingredients, portion size, and selling price, then recheck what you keep after cost.

September averaged ₱158 more per selling day, or about 3% higher than August.
September had 4 paydays versus August’s 6, which also affects the comparison.
September, up to Sep 27, came to ₱144,350 versus August’s ₱160,845; September is incomplete, with 27 selling days versus August’s 31, so the totals are not a fair comparison.
Compare the completed September with August again once September is over.
