The problem it solves

Pulling yesterday's sales numbers out of Square and typing them into a spreadsheet is a small task that still eats into your morning, especially if you run more than one location. Skip a day and your records have a gap that is annoying to fill in later.

Who it fits

Retail and restaurant owners running one or more Square point-of-sale locations who track sales in a spreadsheet.

How it works

  1. Every morning, the system checks in with Square automatically
  2. It pulls the previous day's completed orders for every location
  3. Locations with no sales that day are skipped
  4. Sales data is totaled to match Square's own sales summary report
  5. The totals are added to your Google Sheet
What you get

Daily sales trends visible across every location

Every morning you get yesterday's sales totals from every Square location gathered automatically into one spreadsheet for review.

What you get

An always up-to-date Google Sheet of daily sales totals by location.

What you need

A Square account with API access and a Google account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
