Staff the right number of bartenders for every peak hour

Every Monday, WebRun pulls last week's hourly transaction data from SpotOn, compares each hour's volume against the headcount you logged in your scheduling sheet, and flags peak hours where you had too few or too many staff relative to your sales-per-head benchmark.

In short

How can I use my bar POS data to improve staff scheduling for peak hours?

WebRun pulls SpotOn hourly transaction data every Monday for the prior week and compares it against your logged headcount in Google Sheets, calculating sales per staff member for each hour. Peak hours where you were understaffed or overstaffed are flagged automatically so you can schedule more precisely for the coming week.

  • Understaffed rush hours are identified before the next weekend, not after a complaint
  • Overstaffed slow hours are flagged so labor cost is trimmed without cutting service
  • A weekly sales-per-head benchmark builds over time for smarter future scheduling

Built for bar managers · nightclub operators · hospitality schedulers · multi-venue bar owners

Questions, answered

Will it automatically change the schedule for next week based on the report?

No. The report is an analysis tool for the manager. Any scheduling changes are made by the manager using SpotOn's scheduling feature or their scheduling app after reviewing the report.

How do I set the understaffed and overstaffed thresholds?

You set your target sales-per-head benchmark in the Google Sheet during setup. WebRun uses that figure as the midpoint and flags hours that fall outside the range you define around it.

What if I do not track headcount in Google Sheets already?

During setup you create the sheet with a simple headcount column for each day and hour. It only takes a few minutes to fill in your typical staffing pattern, and WebRun handles everything after that.

Put this on autopilot.
