How to Automate Arryved

A taproom tab follows the guest, not the table

Arryved was built for craft beverage, and it shows within ten minutes of a shift. Service in a taproom does not look like service in a restaurant. There are no table numbers on a lawn, guests drift between the bar, the patio and the food truck outside, and a tab opens against a card kept on file and stays open while the person wanders.

Staff take orders on a handheld rather than walking back to a terminal, and the till keeps working when the wifi at the far end of the building gives up. What is sold is unusual too: a batch that will run out, poured by the ounce, from a keg that is either on or blowing at nine on a Friday.

So the platform holds more than a day's takings. It sits across the taproom and the brewhouse at once: what poured, what is left of it, which members came in, what went out to accounts.

The club and the keg accounts get tracked by hand

Pouring is the easy part. Everything arranged around it is somebody's second shift.

The cider club is a membership business bolted onto a bar. Cards expire, and the first anyone hears of it is a failed renewal. A release pickup needs a list, a note to every member on it, then a second note to the ones who never came. Members who have not been in since spring stay invisible unless somebody goes looking.

Then there is everything outside the building. Check-ins and ratings for last week's release sit in Untappd, and reviews are spread over three sites. Whether the bar across town actually put your keg on tap is something you learn from their tap list or by driving past. The state licence portal keeps its own renewal date. And most mornings somebody opens the reports, copies yesterday's numbers into a sheet, and squares the card payouts against what the bank really deposited.

Renewals caught before they lapse Cards expiring this month and members who stopped coming, gathered into one list with a note drafted for each of them.

The night's takings, already squared Card settlement checked against what the bank actually deposited, so only the nights that disagree reach a person.

What the town said about the new release Check-ins, ratings and reviews collected from the sites they were left on, each set beside the shift it belongs to.

Depletion forecasting counts what the taproom poured

Arryved is not short of features, and most taprooms use a fraction of what they already pay for.

Front of house there are card-on-file tabs, QR and contactless ordering, online and to-go orders, FreshKDS on the kitchen screen, and an offline mode for when the connection drops. Arryved Pay handles the processing, so sales and settlement report together. Behind that, Brewery Management covers ingredient, keg and packaged inventory, recipe costing, batch tracking, depletion forecasting and the sales and distribution side. Web Solutions builds the site, the online shop and memberships, the Digital Menu Hub keeps the wall menu matching the POS, and Insider runs loyalty. The integration list carries real names: Ekos, QuickBooks, 7shifts, MarginEdge, Yellow Dog, Bartrack and Shogo.

Every one of those is fed by the taproom itself. Depletion forecasting knows what has been poured and sold. Inventory knows what came in the door. The membership tools know who joined and when their card runs out. None of that reaches a rating left at eleven last night, a tap list published by an account across town, or a licence page that changed status on Tuesday.

Every pour has a matching page somewhere outside the POS

The version worth having is the taproom's own numbers arriving with the outside world already attached to them.

Yesterday's sales by pour set beside the check-ins and ratings the new release picked up overnight, so the beer that sold and the beer people liked can be told apart before the next batch is scheduled. Reviews gathered from wherever guests left them, each next to the shift it refers to, so a rough Saturday gets explained instead of argued about.

Members whose cards expire this month collected into one list with a note drafted for each. A pickup list for a club release checked against who actually collected, so the second reminder goes only to those who need it. Keg accounts checked against the tap lists those bars publish themselves, so a keg that never went on shows up inside the week rather than the quarter. Card settlement squared against what the bank deposited, with only the nights that disagree put in front of a person.

Reading and comparing can run unattended, because none of it changes anything. Whatever a member or guest receives is drafted, and waits for whoever's name is over the door.

The people behind the bar should be behind the bar

The taproom does not have somebody free to sit and work through other people's websites before service. It gets done late, or on a day off, or not at all.

WebRun is an AI agent that drives a real Chrome browser, signed in as you. It opens the sites that were never going to appear on an integration list, reads what is on the screen, and puts the answer next to what Arryved already recorded. It works the browser the way a person does, so there is nothing to build first: no connector, no API, no developer.

It runs on your schedule inside your own private environment, and you can watch a run and stop it midway. Every workflow below names the sites and accounts it opens before you switch it on.
