How do I forecast staffing needs for my busiest hours?
Every Monday WebRun opens StoreHub, reviews the past four weeks of hourly transaction volume for each outlet, and compares peak windows to the rostered headcount for the week ahead. It posts a staffing forecast to Slack and pings any outlet manager on Telegram whose busiest hours look understaffed, so peak time coverage gets fixed before the rush.
- Peak hour staffing gaps are caught before the week starts
- Only understaffed outlets get a manager alert

Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Does it change the roster on its own?
No. WebRun only compares sales patterns to the rostered headcount and posts a forecast. Every schedule change stays a manager's decision.
How far back does it look for peak hours?
It reviews the past four weeks of hourly StoreHub transaction volume per outlet, so one unusually busy day does not skew the forecast.
Can it flag just the outlets that need help?
Yes. WebRun pings only the managers whose peak hours are rostered below the recommended headcount, so well staffed outlets are not bothered.
