Restaurant Sales Parser

Turns a restaurant's raw weekly sales export into a finished report automatically, with nobody retyping a number.

The work behind the result

The challenge, the implementation approach, and the parts of the system that are useful to inspect in more detail.

Every week, someone had to take the restaurant's raw sales data and manually turn it into a usable report — a repetitive, error-prone task that ate into time better spent running the restaurant.

A script reads the raw export and produces the finished report automatically — no manual retyping, no copy-paste between spreadsheets, no formulas to remember to update by hand.
