Automated Poster Cafe Sales Digest
Every night after close, WebRun opens Poster, pulls the day's sales, covers, and average ticket, logs the totals to a running Google Sheet, and posts a short digest to Slack so you wake up already caught up.

Questions, answered
Does this change anything in Poster or my books?
No. WebRun only reads your Poster sales data. It never edits orders, prices, or records. It just logs totals to a Sheet and posts a digest to Slack.
What if the last shift hasn't closed when it runs?
It reports the sales recorded in Poster up to the scheduled run time. A very late close shows up in the next day's digest instead.
Can I see more than just yesterday's numbers?
Yes. The running Google Sheet keeps every day's totals, so you can compare week over week or month over month, not just read the daily Slack digest.
