    HTTP Request posts to your social page with the photo, and a Gmail node sends it to your lunch email list — seats filled by noon.

Frequently asked questions

How does the kitchen set the special?

They keep a small sheet with a row per date: dish name, a couple of ingredients and a photo URL. Whoever plans the menu fills tomorrow's row; the morning run turns it into polished posts. No app-juggling at the pass.

What if there's no special some days?

If today's row is empty, the workflow simply does nothing — no post goes out. So closed days or repeat menus don't produce awkward blank announcements.
