Automated Lavu POS Low-Stock Reorder Alerts
Every morning, WebRun opens Lavu, reads current inventory counts, identifies any item at or below its reorder threshold, posts a low-stock alert to Slack, and drafts a reorder email to the relevant supplier for the manager to review and send.
How do I get automatic low-stock reorder alerts from Lavu POS?
WebRun opens Lavu every morning, reads current inventory counts for every tracked item and ingredient, and flags anything at or below your reorder threshold. The low-stock list goes to Slack for the team, and supplier reorder emails are drafted in Gmail for the manager to review and send before stock runs out during service.
- Low-stock items caught before service starts, not during a rush
- Reorder emails drafted automatically and ready for manager approval
- Supplier orders grouped by vendor so purchasing is faster

Questions, answered
Will it send supplier emails on its own?
No. All reorder emails are drafted in Gmail and left unsent for the manager to review, edit, and approve before anything goes to a supplier.
How do I set the reorder threshold for each item?
You set reorder thresholds directly in Lavu's inventory settings. WebRun reads those thresholds each morning and flags anything at or below them.
Does it track ingredient-level inventory or just menu items?
It checks whichever inventory types you track in Lavu: individual ingredients, prepared components, and whole menu items are all supported if they have a quantity and threshold set.
