The Activity surface is Pulse’s data page. Period picker, three filtered tabs, day-by-day breakdown, and a per-day drill-down. It’s also where you log cash expenses. Reachable from the Activity sub-tab in the Pulse sidebar.
Cash expenses are essential for accurate P&L. Loyverse tracks revenue automatically, but rent, wages, supplier payments, and any other cash spend are invisible to it. If you don’t log those manually here, your “True net” and margin numbers in Pulse Summary and the verdict emails will overstate profit. Aim to log expenses weekly — see Adding a cash expense below.

​
Three tabs

URL-synced (?tab=all|sales|expenses) so you can bookmark the view you actually use.
Period KPIs (gross sales, refunds, net revenue, expenses, true net, margin %) plus a chronological day-by-day breakdown showing receipts and expenses interleaved.Use when: doing a daily check — “what happened today / this week?”

​
Period picker

Presets at the top: This week, Last week, This month, Last month. To go further back, use the Earlier month dropdown beside them — it lists the twelve months behind those presets, so in August you can still pull up June. The URL stays bookmarkable: ?preset=this_month&tab=expenses. Every KPI card also carries its change against the previous period — a whole calendar month is compared with the month before it, anything else with the equal-length window ending the day before. Colour follows the meaning rather than the arrow: expenses falling is green, gross sales falling is red.

​
Busiest hours

A day-by-hour grid of when customers actually walk in, below the daily breakdown on the All and Sales tabs. It answers the question the daily totals can’t: not how much you sold, but when. Use it to set opening hours and rosters. A shop that opens at 8am but sees nothing before 10am is paying for two hours of staff and electricity; a Saturday evening rush that outruns your cover is a lost queue.

​
The summary

Three figures sit above the grid, each with its share of the period’s receipts:

Busiest day

The weekday carrying the most receipts. Roster around this one first — a Monday and a Saturday are effectively different businesses.

Peak window

The run of hours around your busiest hour, not a single hour. “6pm–10pm” is a staffing decision; a lone hour is usually just where the clock boundary fell.

Quietest stretch

The slackest two hours you’re open for. The first candidate if you’re thinking about trimming hours.

​
Reading the grid

Rows are Monday to Sunday, columns are hours of the day. The darker a cell, the busier that hour. Hover or focus any cell for the exact figures, and switch to the Table tab for the same numbers as text, ranked busiest-first with each hour’s share of the period.
The grid counts receipts, not ringgit. One large catering order is a single customer arriving — shading by revenue would light up an hour nobody queued in. Refunds are left out entirely, because a refund gets processed whenever you get round to it and says nothing about when the shop was full.

​
How the numbers are worked out

Each cell is receipts per occurrence of that weekday, not the raw total. A month holding five Fridays and four Sundays would otherwise shade Friday darker on the strength of the calendar rather than the customers.
Columns are trimmed to the span that saw trade, so a shop open 8am–5pm doesn’t read its week across a grid two-thirds full of midnight. A quiet period falls back to a 7am–10pm window.
The quietest stretch only ever looks at hours you’re actually open. For a bar trading 3pm–2am the day wraps past midnight, so the longest unbroken run of empty hours is treated as the closure and everything else as the trading day. You won’t be told your quietest stretch is 4am.
A single week is enough to see a shape, but one unusual day skews it. Give it three or four weeks of receipts — or pick a full month from the period picker — before you move anyone’s shift.

​
Day drill-down

Click any date row to drill into a single day at /pulse/activity/days/2026-04-15. The day page has two tabs:

Receipts

Read-only, sourced from your connected Loyverse POS. Shows line items, modifiers, and payment methods per receipt.

Expenses

Add, edit, or delete cash expenses. Photo upload supported (camera capture on mobile).
For past days you also see a “Pricing assumptions for this month” collapsible at the top — it shows the Calculator inputs that were live for that month. Useful when you want to know “wait, why did the burn chart look that way back then?”
