Automations for restaurants
Automated reports for restaurants
The phone rings during service and nobody can pick up. For restaurants that's a common story, and it's what the automated report flow is for. The report you rebuild every week, pulled together and sent on schedule.
Why restaurants ask for this
The phone rings during service and nobody can pick up. Nobody at a family-run pizzeria that also does delivery signed up for that part of the job, and the automated report flow handles it.
What it looks like in practice
Picture a family-run pizzeria that also does delivery. Every Monday at 8 a short report lands in your inbox. It pulls last week's numbers from OpenTable and puts them next to the week before, so you can see what changed in a minute.
How it works for restaurants
Once the automated report flow is running for a family-run pizzeria that also does delivery, this is the sequence.
- I list the numbers you check and where they live.
- A workflow pulls them from OpenTable and your other tools.
- They're assembled into a simple report or sheet.
- It's sent by email or Slack on your schedule.
- Unusual numbers are highlighted.
Tools it connects to
It plugs into the tools restaurants already use, such as OpenTable, Google Sheets and Uber Eats, and runs on n8n, Looker Studio and Slack.
Questions from restaurants
Does the automated report flow work with OpenTable?
Often, yes. Before building the automated report flow I check your OpenTable account and plan, because some features depend on API access. If there's a gap for your restaurant setup, you'll know before you pay anything.
How long does it take to set up for restaurants?
Plan on 3 to 5 days from the day I get access to your accounts. Most of that is testing with your real orders and messages, so nothing goes live until it behaves the way you want.
Will my guests notice anything?
Not directly. The automated report flow works in the background for your team. What guests notice is nothing different.
