In the restaurant industry, accurately managing payroll and time cards is critical to maintain profitability and operational efficiency. Traditional methods of clocking in and out, such as swipe cards or manual entries, are prone to errors and abuse, such as employee "buddy punching," where one employee clocks in or out for another. To address these issues, Aldelo Express has introduced an innovative AI Facial Recognition Login solution, revolutionizing how restaurants manage their payroll and timekeeping.

The Problem of Buddy Punching

Financial Loss
Buddy punching is a common issue in many workplaces, including restaurants. This practice occurs when one employee clocks in or out on behalf of another, leading to inaccurate labor tracking and inflated payroll costs. Over time, buddy punching can result in significant financial losses for businesses, as they end up paying for hours that were never actually worked.

Low Morale and High Turnover
Additionally, buddy punching can create an unfair work environment, where honest employees take on work left to them by tardy peers. To these staff members, not managing time cards or employees well can quickly be perceived as a failure in business management, which discourages honest staff from continuing to work for the restaurant. High turnover caused by low morale can be detrimental to a restaurant in an already challenging labor market.

AI Facial Recognition: A Robust Solution
Aldelo Express’s AI Facial Recognition Login solution offers a robust answer to the problem of buddy punching. By integrating biometric logins into their tablet-based terminals, Aldelo Express ensures that only the rightful employee can clock in or out. This system uses advanced AI algorithms to recognize each employee’s unique facial features, making it virtually impossible for one person to log in for another.

How It Works
When employees arrive for their shift, they simply use the camera built into an Aldelo Express tablet to verify their identity and complete their timecard login using AI facial recognition technology. This process is quick and efficient, taking only a few seconds. This method eliminates the need for swipe cards or manual entries, both of which are susceptible to fraud and human error.

Benefits of Biometric Logins

1. Accurate Payroll: By ensuring that only the authorized employee can clock in or out, the AI Facial Recognition system promotes accurate labor tracking. This leads to precise payroll calculations, reducing the likelihood of overpayments and ensuring that employees are paid correctly for the hours they have or have not worked.

2. Eliminates Buddy Punching: Since the system relies on unique facial features, AI Facial Recognition technology drastically reduces employee buddy punching. This not only saves the restaurant money but also promotes a fair and honest work environment.

3. Increased Security: Biometric logins provide an additional layer of security compared to traditional methods. Personal identification numbers (PINs) and swipe cards can be lost, stolen, or shared, while AI Facial Recognition Logins are unique to each individual and difficult to replicate.

​4. Enhanced Efficiency: The quick and seamless login process saves time for both employees and managers. Employees no longer need to remember or carry swipe cards, and managers can trust that the time records are accurate. AI Facial Recognition Logins from Aldelo Express can even recognize employees who are wearing face masks, recognizing other facial features to identify and authorize an employee.

Tighten Business Security with AI Facial Recognition Logins
In an industry where operational efficiency and cost control are critical, Aldelo Express’s AI Facial Recognition Login solution stands out as a game-changer. By securing payroll and time cards with biometric logins, restaurants can eliminate the costly issue of buddy punching and promote accurate labor tracking. This technology not only protects the business’s bottom line but also fosters a fair and secure work environment, leading to improved employee retention and staff morale.

As technology continues to advance, solutions like Aldelo Express’s AI Facial Recognition system are indispensable tools for restaurants looking to optimize their operations and protect their bottom lines. Embracing such innovations is a step towards a more efficient, secure, and profitable future for modern restaurants.
