NCR Aloha Automated Shift Coverage Alerts
Every morning, WebRun opens NCR Aloha, reads today's scheduled shifts and confirmed clock-ins, identifies any position that is uncovered or under-staffed, checks Google Calendar for any staff conflicts, and posts a shift coverage alert to your manager Slack channel so you can act before service starts.
How do I automatically get alerted to open shift coverage gaps in NCR Aloha?
WebRun checks NCR Aloha scheduled shifts every morning, identifies positions that are uncovered or unconfirmed, cross-references Google Calendar for staff conflicts, and posts a coverage alert to the manager Slack channel early enough for management to find a fill before service starts.
- Shift coverage gaps surface every morning before service starts, not during the rush
- Google Calendar conflicts are cross-checked so managers get the full picture
- No staff member is contacted automatically, keeping scheduling decisions with management

Questions, answered
Does it contact employees to fill the open shift?
No. WebRun only alerts the manager in Slack. All staffing decisions and employee contact remain with the management team. No message is sent to staff automatically.
What if an employee confirms their shift after the morning run?
The alert reflects the status at the time it runs. If you want a second check closer to service, you can configure a second run a few hours later to catch late confirmations.
Does it work if the restaurant uses a separate scheduling tool alongside NCR Aloha?
WebRun reads the schedule data available in NCR Aloha and the Google Calendar conflicts. If scheduling data lives elsewhere, connect that tool to WebRun as a data source.
