Automated Catering Tasting Scheduling

When a new prospect reaches the tasting stage in CaterZen, WebRun checks Google Calendar for available tasting slots, drafts an invitation email for the client with two or three options, and queues the message in Gmail for your approval before anything is sent.

In short

How do I automatically schedule catering tastings for new prospects?

WebRun monitors your CaterZen pipeline for prospects who reach the tasting stage. When one is ready, it checks Google Calendar for open slots in the next two weeks, drafts a warm, personalised tasting invitation in Gmail with two or three options, and queues it for your approval so every interested client gets a prompt, professional response.

  • Every tasting-ready prospect gets an invitation drafted within minutes
  • Calendar conflicts and existing tastings are avoided automatically
  • You stay in full control by approving every invitation before it sends

Questions, answered

Will it send the tasting invitation to the client without my approval?

No. The invitation is always saved as a Gmail draft for your review. Nothing is sent to the client until you check it and click Send.

How does it know which calendar slots are free for tastings?

It reads your Google Calendar and avoids any slot already blocked for events, prep, or existing tastings. You can add a dedicated tasting calendar during setup for cleaner filtering.

What if the client already booked a tasting through another channel?

It checks CaterZen for an existing tasting appointment before drafting. Clients who already have one scheduled are skipped automatically.

Put this on autopilot.
