Cron Every Weekday at Noon

The cron expression 0 12 * * 1-5 fires at noon (12:00 PM) every weekday. This midday business schedule captures the morning's activity for lunchtime processing.

Noon weekday schedules are popular for mid-day data refreshes, sending lunchtime digest emails, midday SLA checks, and triggering afternoon reports that include the morning's data. The timing works well across US timezones — noon Eastern is still morning on the West Coast.

For a different time on weekdays, just change the hour: 0 8 * * 1-5 for 8 AM, 0 17 * * 1-5 for 5 PM. To also run at noon on weekends, remove the day restriction: 0 12 * * *.
