Alert your central kitchen before stock runs out

Every morning, WebRun opens Restroworks central kitchen inventory, checks every raw material against its reorder threshold, drafts a reorder list ranked by how soon each item runs out, and posts it to Microsoft Teams so procurement can review and place the order themselves.

In short

How do I get alerted before central kitchen stock runs out?

Every morning, WebRun opens Restroworks central kitchen inventory, checks every raw material against its reorder threshold and average daily usage, and drafts a reorder list ranked by how soon each item runs out. It posts the draft to Microsoft Teams for procurement to review, so nothing is ordered without a person deciding first.

  • Low stock is flagged before it becomes a stockout, not after outlets run out
  • The most urgent items surface at the top instead of a flat list
  • Every order still needs a person to review and submit it in Restroworks

Built for central kitchen managers · restaurant procurement teams · commissary operations · multi-outlet restaurant chains

Questions, answered

Will it place the order on its own?

No. WebRun only drafts a reorder list and posts it to Microsoft Teams for procurement to review. Placing or submitting the actual purchase order in Restroworks is always done by a person.

How does it decide what counts as running low?

It compares each item's current stock against the reorder threshold and average daily usage already set in Restroworks central kitchen inventory, so the threshold matches what your team has already configured, not a generic default.

What if an item is urgent, not just low?

Anything projected to run out within 2 days is flagged in bold at the top of the list, so procurement sees the most urgent items first instead of a flat alphabetical list.
