Automated TouchBistro Online Order Error Follow-Up

Every morning, WebRun opens TouchBistro, reviews the prior day's online orders for failures, cancellations, and errors, then drafts a follow-up email for each affected guest in Gmail for manager review and approval before sending, so no failed order goes unaddressed.

In short

How do I automatically follow up on failed online orders from TouchBistro?

WebRun reviews your TouchBistro online orders every morning, identifies any that failed or were cancelled the prior day, and drafts a polite follow-up email in Gmail for each affected guest. Every draft is held for a manager to review and approve before any message reaches a customer, ensuring a human is always in the loop.

  • No failed online order goes unaddressed the next morning
  • Guest follow-up is drafted automatically, saving manager time
  • Every customer email is reviewed by a human before it is sent

Questions, answered

Will it send emails to guests automatically?

No. Every follow-up email is saved as a Gmail draft and held for a manager to review, personalise, and send. No guest is contacted without a human approving the message first.

What if there were no online order errors yesterday?

WebRun completes the check and posts a brief Slack note confirming that no failed orders were found. No drafts are created and nothing is sent.

Can it handle orders from third-party platforms like DoorDash?

It reads the order data that is visible in TouchBistro's Online Ordering dashboard. If third-party orders are routed into TouchBistro, they appear there and WebRun can flag them.
