In short

How do I automatically chase overdue supplier invoices for my restaurant?

WebRun opens QuickBooks every Monday, finds every overdue supplier invoice for your restaurant, cross-references active suppliers in TouchBistro, and drafts a polite chaser email in Gmail for each outstanding balance. Every draft waits for your review and approval before anything is sent to a supplier.

  • Overdue supplier invoices surface every Monday without anyone digging through QuickBooks
  • Chaser drafts are ready to send in Gmail before 9 AM
  • No supplier receives an email without a human reviewing and approving it first

Questions, answered

Will it send any emails to suppliers automatically?

No. Every chaser is drafted and left unsent in Gmail for your review. Nothing goes to a supplier until you open the draft, check it, and click Send yourself.

What information goes into each chaser draft?

Each draft includes the supplier name, the invoice number, the amount due, and the number of days overdue, drawn from QuickBooks. You can edit the wording before sending.

What if a supplier has multiple overdue invoices?

WebRun creates one draft per invoice so you can handle each on its own terms. If you prefer a single consolidated chaser per supplier, note that preference during setup.

Put this on autopilot.
