NCR Aloha Automated Low-Stock Reorder Alerts
Every morning, WebRun opens NCR Aloha, reads current inventory levels for tracked items, compares each against your defined reorder threshold, posts a low-stock alert to Slack for the kitchen manager, and drafts a reorder email to the relevant supplier in Gmail for manager approval before sending.
How do I automatically get low-stock alerts from NCR Aloha before service?
WebRun checks NCR Aloha inventory levels every morning, identifies items at or below your reorder thresholds, posts a low-stock alert to Slack for the kitchen manager, and drafts supplier reorder emails in Gmail for manager approval, so your team can act before the lunch rush and no item is 86'd by surprise.
- Low-stock items surface every morning before service so nothing is 86'd by surprise
- Reorder drafts are ready in Gmail for one-click manager approval, not manual composition
- Zero-quantity items are flagged in Slack so the kitchen can plan the day's menu adjustments

Questions, answered
Will it automatically place a reorder with the supplier?
No. WebRun drafts the reorder email and leaves it unsent in Gmail for your manager to review. No order goes to a supplier without a human approving and sending it.
How do I set my reorder thresholds for each item?
You define thresholds per item in NCR Aloha or in WebRun's settings during setup. WebRun compares live inventory levels against those values on every morning run.
What if an item hits zero mid-service?
The morning run catches items at or approaching zero before service. For real-time 86 tracking during service, pair this workflow with a manual 86 list update in NCR Aloha.
