Square Daily Sales & Performance Report
Morning email with yesterday's sales, top products, and trend vs. same day last week.
Nora pulls Square sales data, calculates daily totals, trends, and top-selling items. Compares to historical performance. Helps retail teams spot slow days and optimize staffing.
Retail managers need daily visibility into performance to adjust staffing, inventory, and promotions. This automation runs every morning and pulls yesterday's Square sales data: total transactions, revenue, average transaction size, top-selling items, and payment methods used. It compares to the same day the previous week, highlighting if sales are up or down and by what percentage. Nora notes the busiest hour (useful for scheduling), slowest hour (opportunity to run a promotion), and any unusual patterns (e.g., a sudden spike). For physical retail, Nora can also correlate sales with foot traffic (if you have a foot-traffic sensor or mobile device counter) to calculate conversion rate. The report is emailed before the store opens so managers can adjust the day's strategy. Some teams add this to a Slack channel so the team sees it. Retail teams use the daily pattern to set staffing for the days that are actually busy, instead of staffing every day the same.
Runs daily at 6 am using Square, run by your Operations Manager.
