How This System Works

Architecture

Three-agent system leveraging existing Square POS and Google Sheets infrastructure with Slack notifications. Tap List Manager provides real-time inventory sync, Distribution Tracker offers daily operational insights, and Event Assistant streamlines booking workflow.

Data Flow

Square POS feeds inventory data to Tap List Manager, which updates Google Sheets master database. Distribution Tracker analyzes order sheets daily, while Event Assistant manages booking calendar. All agents use Slack for team notifications and Claude for intelligent content generation.
