Stand up a new location's vendors in your books

When a new location opens, WebRun reads your onboarding vendor list in Google Sheets, drafts each supplier as a vendor record in Restaurant365 with payment terms, GL defaults, and the location mapped, leaves every record unsaved for review, and posts you a Slack checklist of any vendor still missing a tax ID or account number.

In short

How do I set up a new restaurant location's vendors in Restaurant365 automatically?

When a new location opens, WebRun reads the vendor list from Google Sheets and drafts each supplier as a vendor record in Restaurant365 with payment terms, GL defaults, and the location mapped. It leaves every record unconfirmed for review and posts a Slack checklist of vendors still missing a tax ID or W-9, so onboarding a unit takes minutes.

  • A new unit's vendors are drafted in the books the day the list arrives
  • Missing tax IDs and W-9s surface on one checklist, not at first payment
  • Every vendor record stays unconfirmed until a human signs off

Questions, answered

Will it activate vendors without me checking?

No. WebRun drafts each vendor record in Restaurant365 and leaves it unconfirmed. A person reviews the terms, GL default, and tax ID before activating, so no supplier goes live in your books unchecked.

What if a vendor row is missing a tax ID or account number?

It still drafts the record but flags the gap on the Slack checklist. WebRun never invents a tax ID or account number, so you know exactly which vendors need a follow up.

Can it map everything to the right location?

Yes. WebRun sets the new location on every drafted vendor and applies the GL and category defaults you specify, so the records are ready for that unit as soon as you confirm them.

Put this on autopilot.
