The problem it solves

At the start of every month you have to log into Square, pull last month's numbers by hand, and put together a report before anyone can plan ahead. If a bookkeeper or landlord needs the numbers too, you're doing the same work twice. It eats into time you'd rather spend running the business.

Who it fits

A retail or restaurant owner using Square who needs a recurring monthly sales report for a manager, landlord, or bookkeeper.

How it works

  1. On the 1st of the month, the system checks all your Square locations
  2. It pulls completed orders from the previous calendar month for each location
  3. Locations with no sales are skipped automatically
  4. The numbers are organized into a report matching Square's own Sales Summary
  5. The report is emailed through Outlook to whoever needs it

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.
