Automated Cut-To-Order Waste Reports
Every Monday, WebRun opens ShelfPerks to read the cut-to-order waste logged per wheel, pulls the matching sold weight from Square, calculates each wheel's waste rate against expected yield, and posts a ranked Slack report of the worst cheeses for trim and rind loss.
How do I track cut-to-order cheese waste by wheel automatically?
WebRun reviews your cutting waste every Monday. It reads the trim and rind logged per wheel in ShelfPerks, pulls the matching sold weight from Square, computes each wheel's waste rate against expected yield, and posts a ranked Slack report, so you see which cheeses lose the most at the block and can retrain accordingly.
- The worst wheels for trim loss are ranked every week
- Waste rate is cross-checked against real Square sold weight
- Cheeses above your target threshold are flagged for retraining
Built for cheese shop owners · cheesemongers · deli managers · specialty food operators

Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Does the report name individual staff?
Only if you want it to. By default it ranks cheeses, not people. Where ShelfPerks records who cut a wheel, WebRun can include that, but it is off unless you turn it on, so the focus stays on product not blame.
Is it safe to post this to Slack automatically?
Yes. The report is internal to your team channel and touches no customer or supplier, so it posts on its own each Monday. Nothing external is sent and no prices or counts are changed.
How is waste rate calculated?
Waste rate is the logged trim, rind, and end-piece weight divided by the wheel's starting weight in ShelfPerks. Cross-checking against Square sold weight confirms the yield adds up, so an unusually high rate stands out clearly.
