About This Automation

Menu and specials updates require a person to translate a chef's pricing decision into several disconnected systems by hand. Manual re-entry across a tracking sheet, a point of sale catalog, a website, and printed cards creates delay and frequent mismatches.

An automated version reads the confirmed specials and pricing once, then updates the point of sale catalog, publishes the website menu, builds the specials graphic, and notifies staff automatically. The result is faster publishing with consistent pricing across every channel.

Key features
Reads confirmed specials and pricing from a single source of truth
Checks pricing against cost rules before anything is published
Updates the point of sale catalog automatically once pricing is confirmed
Generates a specials graphic for boards and social posts
Publishes the website menu page with matching items and prices
Notifies staff of new specials and pricing changes automatically

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Specials Sheet Submittedtrigger

Chef or manager finalizes the specials and price changes in the shared tracker.

2. Menu Data Sync Validates Entry

The automation reads the new entries, checks pricing and formatting, and prepares the update.

3. Update Catalog

Item names, descriptions, and prices are pushed automatically.

4. Manager Reviews Large Price Change

If a price moves more than 15 percent, a manager approves it before it goes live anywhere.

5. Specials Publishing Builds Assets

The automation drafts the specials graphic and website copy from the approved data.

6. Generate Specials Graphic

A ready-to-post specials graphic is created using the current template.

7. Update Menu

The live menu page is updated with the new items, descriptions, and prices.

8. Post Specials

Staff are notified in the team channel with the finalized specials and pricing before service.
