[Flow Classic] Setting hourly budgets and targets with the Power Hour chart

This article describes Flow Classic, the previous version of Flow. Some screens and features may differ from the new app.

Calculating Reference Values from Traffic Trends

Based on the traffic pattern from opening to closing, set target budgets and number of purchases by time slot.

Setting hourly targets and reviewing results lets you course-correct quickly during business hours, helping prevent KPI drops and increasing the likelihood of hitting your budget.

Understand the Traffic Pattern

Calculate the daily traffic pattern as a percentage breakdown, based on Power Hour compared to the same day of the week last year.

Download it as a CSV to Excel/Google Sheets and use it there.

Set Targets by Time Slot

Allocate the traffic percentage across sales and each KPI.

Example:

Daily budget: ¥200,000　Projected traffic share at the 10:00 hour: 4%　

¥200,000 × 0.04 = ¥8,000

Review

Use "Home" or "KPI Analysis" to review results by time slot, find any items where the KPI is below last year, and course-correct quickly.

For more detail on how to review this, see the Daily Report and Weekly Report articles.
