Automated Cheese Sell-By Date Tracking
Every morning, WebRun opens ShelfPerks, reads every aging cheese lot with its sell-by date, flags any lot due within your window, appends each to a Google Sheet with lot number and remaining days, and posts your counter team a ranked pull list in Slack.
How do I track cheese sell-by dates and aging lots automatically?
WebRun opens ShelfPerks every morning, reads every aging cheese lot with its sell-by date, and flags any wheel due within your window. It logs each to a Google Sheet with lot number and days remaining, then posts your counter team a ranked pull list in Slack, so no wheel spoils unnoticed.
- No wheel spoils because every sell-by date is checked each morning
- Counter team opens Slack to a ranked pull list every day
- Sold-out lots drop off automatically from live ShelfPerks counts
Built for cheese shop owners · cheesemongers · specialty food retailers · deli counter managers

WebRun signs in once and keeps each session in a persistent environment, so every run picks up right where it left off.
Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Will it mark down or discard any cheese on its own?
No. WebRun only logs aging lots and posts an internal Slack pull list for your counter team. Every markdown, pull, or discard decision is left for a person to make.
How far ahead does it flag a sell-by date?
Seven days ahead by default, with a tighter urgency tier for lots due within 2 days. The look-ahead window is adjustable in your run settings so it fits how fast your wheels move.
What if a lot already sold out?
It reads the live wheel count in ShelfPerks each morning, so any lot already sold through drops off the list automatically and never clutters the pull list.
