Half-days don't need special handling in nouz — they're just normal days with less revenue. The natural data flow captures the reality without any workaround.
01 What are my two options for a half-day?
- Log it as a normal day with whatever revenue + expenses actually happened. Half-day shows up as low-revenue in the data, which is true.
- Log it as closed (blank) and forget it. Fine if a half-day with €40 of revenue is more like "we were closed" than "we were open".
02 Should I just log a half-day as normal?
Recommended. The revenue you took counts, the expenses you incurred count, and the day shows up in your Statistics like any other. If it's an outlier (peak/weak day), the insight tag in Statistics will flag it — that's the system working correctly.
Your weekly average reads slightly differently with a half-day in the mix vs without, but that's reality — averaging across "open four full days + one half-day + two closed days" is a more accurate read on the week than pretending the half-day didn't happen.
03 Do fixed costs shrink on a half-day?
A half-day still subtracts the full daily fixed-cost slice. Your rent doesn't halve because you were closed at lunch. The honest math: a half-day has half the revenue but the same fixed-cost burden — which means a more negative EBIT than a normal day. That's real.
04 Should I mark a half-day in the note?
Add a note to the revenue entry: "Half-day — sick", "Opened 14:00 (delivery delay)", "Public holiday — short hours". This isn't for analytics; it's for you when you look at the day six months later and wonder why it was an outlier.
