In short

How do I automatically track dietary restrictions and allergies for catering events?

WebRun reads every guest and RSVP note in Total Party Planner each morning for events in the next 7 days, pulling out allergies and dietary restrictions as they're logged. It updates a Google Sheets matrix and posts your kitchen team a Slack digest grouped by event, with severe allergies flagged first, so nothing gets missed on event day.

  • Severe allergies get flagged at the top of every kitchen digest
  • No guest note gets lost between booking and event day
  • The allergy matrix stays current with a fresh read every morning

Questions, answered

Does this replace a conversation with the client about severe allergies?

No. It surfaces every note already on file so the kitchen never misses one, but a severe allergy should still get a direct confirmation call from your team before the event.

What counts as a dietary restriction versus a preference?

It reads the actual wording in each guest note, from a true allergy to a stated preference like vegetarian, and keeps both on the matrix with severity flagged separately.

What if a guest's restriction changes after the digest posts?

The next morning's run re-reads the live notes in Total Party Planner, so any update lands in the matrix and the digest before the event.
