Calander start on Monday, instead of Sunday

Its called the weekEND for a reason. The week starts on Monday for most people and businesses. i need to be able to see accurate reports. If a shotty software program like massagebook can have that feature theres no reason square shouldnt be able to have the same adjustable setting.

@SCMcos For once you have a problem that is already solved!! You have 2 settings in your online dashboard.  The first one has to do with scheduling.  You can go to staff ---> Settings --->  Schedule and set the start of your work week to Monday if that is how your payroll is calculated as the beginning of the work week.

 

For reporting, it is super easy to set up reporting hours to fit your business, you can use Square AI to do it fast then pin it so you can just bring it back up anytime you want.  No more redoing etc.

 

Try the prompt:  "What were my last week's sales if my work week Begins on Monday?"  and BAM, you will get the report you want.  Otherwise, you can change the reporting dates at any time in the tab at the top of the page.

 

Neither is universally right, there are two overlapping standards:

  • U.S./traditional calendars → Sunday start

  • ISO-8601/business logic → Monday start

Square was built in the US, so traditionally Sunday is the start of the week.  My business uses Monday - Sunday, but most healthcare is always Sunday - Saturday with the weekend starting Friday Night.  Now that will throw you for a loop.
