The short version
- Drop in the item sales report your POS already makes, or connect your POS, and your team works from what sells.
- Runner reads the file in your browser and keeps only a summary: your totals and your best sellers' names, never a customer.
- Your team drafts posts about your best sellers. Nothing goes out until you approve it or switch the team on, and then only inside the limits you set.
Start from the report your POS already makes
Square, Lightspeed Retail, Toss Place and Toast connect directly. Lightspeed Restaurant and every other POS start from the sales report.
Shopify POS works through its orders CSV, and Clover follows once Clover approves Runner.
Download your sales report
In your POS, export the item sales report as a CSV or Excel file. In Square, it's Reports, then Item sales, then Export.

If each sale has a date and time, Runner also finds your busy and quiet times.

Runner keeps only a summary: your totals and your best sellers' names.
Only a summary leaves your browser
Runner reads the file in your browser and sends only a summary: your totals and your best sellers' names. Before anything is saved, you see what Runner read and every item name it will keep.
Runner keeps no customer names, emails or card numbers, and an item name that looks like an email address or a phone number is left out.
Try it first, for free
The free Sales Report X-ray reads your report in your browser and shows your busiest day and hour, your best sellers, your average ticket and three post ideas, as far as your report has the columns for them. Nothing is uploaded.
What Runner finds in your sales
From your sales, Runner finds your best sellers, and your busiest and quietest days and hours when the report has dates and times.
Your team is built around them: grow what already sells, bring people in on the quiet days and hours, and bring past customers back.
Posts about what sells, drafted for you to approve
On most social channels, the first post your team drafts is about your best seller. When a new item clearly takes over the top spot, the team drafts its next post about it.
- A post says how many of something sold, never how much money it made, a price or a customer.
- Till buttons like Custom amount or Gift card never count as a best seller.
- Where your connected POS reports stock, an item about to run out drops out of your team's posts until it's back, and you get a task to reorder it. Toss Place reports no stock, and an uploaded report carries none.
- If a best seller slows down, you get a task with an idea: try it in a bundle, or on a quiet day.
The bound
Nothing goes out until you approve it or switch the team on, and then only inside the limits you set.
A week of drafts at once
Your team drafts every day at the pace you choose: Steady, More or Heavy. Press Draft a week now, and it writes a week of drafts at once, for you to approve in one press. The team has to be switched on first.
What to check before you approve a draftKeep your sales up to date
A connected POS keeps your summary up to date every hour, over the last 90 days.
If you drop in reports instead, the team page asks for a new one once yours is more than five weeks old. With an earlier report to compare, it says what changed, like a new best seller or new quiet days.
