Automated Sapaad Peak Hour Staffing Alerts
Every morning, WebRun opens Sapaad, finds yesterday's busiest hours by covers and order volume, checks today's staff schedule in Google Calendar against those same hours, and posts a Slack alert naming any peak hour that looks understaffed so you can add coverage before the rush.
How do I catch peak hour staffing gaps before service starts?
WebRun compares yesterday's busiest hours in Sapaad against today's rostered staff in Google Calendar every morning, and posts a Slack alert naming any peak hour where coverage looks light against yesterday's demand, so a manager can add staff before the rush instead of scrambling once the rush has already started.
- Staffing gaps are flagged before service starts, not during the rush
- Peak hours are based on yesterday's actual covers, not a fixed assumption
- One-off busy days can be excluded so they do not skew every future comparison
Built for restaurant managers · shift schedulers · QSR operators · multi-outlet restaurant operators

Questions, answered
Does it change the schedule or add shifts for me?
No. It only reads Sapaad and Google Calendar and flags a gap in Slack. Adding or moving a shift stays a manager decision.
How does it decide which hours count as peak?
It looks at yesterday's covers and order volume by hour in Sapaad and picks the two or three busiest, so the comparison is based on actual demand rather than a fixed assumption.
What if yesterday was unusually busy, like a holiday?
You can exclude a date from the comparison during setup so a one-off event does not set an unrealistic staffing bar for a normal day.
