Watch your restaurant's Chowbus order volume

In short

How do I get alerted when my Chowbus order volume spikes?

WebRun checks Chowbus through the day for order volume and any flagged order issue, archives a running daily export to Google Drive, and texts you when volume spikes above normal or an order needs attention. It never accepts or fulfills an order itself, so a restaurant owner gets an early warning without watching the dashboard constantly.

  • Order spikes are caught within 30 minutes instead of at close
  • A full daily order history builds up in Drive automatically
  • No order is ever accepted, fulfilled, or canceled without your staff

Questions, answered

Does WebRun accept, fulfill, or cancel orders?

No. It only reads the order count and any flagged issue on the dashboard. Accepting or fulfilling an order is always handled by your kitchen and staff.

How is a spike defined?

Tell WebRun what a normal order pace looks like for your restaurant, and it will text you when the current pace runs well above that.

Where can I see order history later?

Every day's order export is archived in a Google Drive folder, so you can review volume trends whenever you need to.
