In short

How do I track catering rental equipment until it's returned?

WebRun reads the rental equipment list in Total Party Planner every morning for events completed the day before, logs what's due back to a Google Sheets tracker, and posts your operations team a Telegram checklist with overdue items first. It keeps tracking each item until it's checked off as returned, so nothing gets left at a venue.

  • Rental items get tracked from every event until they're checked back in
  • Overdue items surface at the top instead of getting lost between events
  • Warehouse teams get an accurate pack list by vendor and quantity

Questions, answered

Does it contact the rental company directly?

No. It only tracks and reports internally. If an item is overdue with the vendor, your team decides whether to call and can loop WebRun into a follow-up separately.

How does it mark something as returned?

Your team checks it off in the Google Sheets tracker once it's back. WebRun reads that status on the next run so a returned item drops off the checklist.

What happens to an item that's overdue for more than one day?

It stays on the checklist and moves to the top as overdue until it's marked returned, so nothing quietly falls off the list.

Put this on autopilot.
