Questions, answered
Does it change any rosters or orders?
No. WebRun only reads sales history in Petpooja and writes a forecast to Notion and Slack. It never edits a roster, places a prep order, or changes staffing, so every decision stays with your managers.
How far back does the forecast look?
It reads the last several weeks of hourly sales so the forecast reflects your recent trend and day-of-week pattern rather than a single busy or quiet day.
Can it account for a festival or event?
Yes. Tell WebRun about an upcoming festival or local event and it will factor the expected uplift into that week's staffing and prep brief.
