To combat this inevitable and persistent threat, Aldelo Express offers an innovative AI Facial Recognition Login solution. Since its debut in December 2021, this industry-leading AI Automation Service has not only enhanced security for modern restaurants, but also streamlined operations for managers and employees, offering a robust defense against theft and unauthorized access to the Aldelo Express Cloud Point-of-Sale system.

Eliminate Manager Codes with AI Facial Recognition Logins
Aldelo Express also allows operators to apply a higher level of security to manager functions in a restaurant, such as voiding transactions, approving discounts, or editing order gratuities. Like traditional methods for employee time cards, manager functions are usually secured with manager codes or passwords. However, these codes can be shared with employees, stolen, or guessed, leading to unauthorized access and even theft.
Aldelo Express AI Facial Recognition Login technology eliminates the need for manager codes entirely. Once a manager’s image has been enrolled in a restaurant’s Aldelo Express secure back-office database, the system uses biometrics to detect, capture, and match a face with authorized manager data. Employee images and information is never shared, and restaurants manage employee records that can be easily deleted with no recoverable trace of personal data.
This technology not only prevents unauthorized access but also streamlines the management process. Managers no longer need to remember personal codes or worry about them being compromised. Aldelo Express AI Facial Recognition Logins are fast, reliable, and secure, freeing managers to focus on effectively running the restaurant.

Secure Payroll and Time Cards with Biometric Logins
Inaccurate employee time cards result in employees being paid for more hours than they have actually worked, creating unnecessary costs for a restaurant and low employee morale. Traditional methods of clocking in and out for a shift, such as employee swipe cards or manual entries, are vulnerable to employee "buddy punching." Buddy punching occurs when an employee clocks in or out for another – such as when a friend is running late to a shift – leading to inaccurate time cards, unnecessary costs for the restaurant, and lower morale for staff who are often forced to take on a tardy employee’s responsibilities.
The Aldelo Express AI Facial Recognition Login solution addresses this issue by integrating biometric logins into Aldelo Express terminals. The Aldelo Express AI Facial Recognition Login solution requires restaurant employees to be physically present to make entries to their employee time card. This secures payroll costs by ensuring that only the rightful employee can access his or her time card. As a result, managers eliminate employee buddy punching and promote an honest and fair environment for their staff.
By securing payroll and time cards with biometric logins, Aldelo Express helps promote accurate labor costs, significantly reduce fraud, and promote an honest and fair work environment for their staff.

User Image Capture with Enhanced Security Mode
Finally, Aldelo Express’s Enhanced Security Mode setting uses the front-facing camera to take a picture of the restaurant staff conducting specific manager functions such as an order void, payment void, reprint guest check, item discount, check transfer, or other authorized action, providing undeniable proof of the transaction. This image is then included in back-office reports, making it easy to track and monitor manager activities.
The inclusion of pictures not only ensures transparency but also enhances accountability among your staff. When employees know that their actions are being recorded and can be reviewed, they are more likely to follow proper procedures and handle orders and payments responsibly.
By having access to a visual record of manager functions, restaurant owners, especially those that are offsite, can prevent fraud, track errors, and maintain a high level of integrity in their operations.
