Essential to running a profitable business is closely monitoring and managing employee hours and payroll. Labor is the most controllable expense a restaurant has, but as coronavirus concerns and economic uncertainty continue, many restaurants still struggle to retain regular employees. Without accurate oversight, mis-scheduling shifts, mis-communicating schedules, and a lack of control managing daily time cards can be detrimental to a restaurant’s bottom line, and can even risk the restaurant’s compliance with local, state, and federal labor laws.
The Aldelo Express Cloud POS solution suite includes full-featured point-of-sale solutions and built-in Labor Module functions developed specifically to help new and existing restaurant owners take control of their labor expenses. The Aldelo Express Labor Module provides several customizable time clock and payroll functions that help managers better manage, secure, and automate their payroll and timecard solutions for the business.
Clock in and clock out reminders, including breaks, help reduce overtime expenses and profit leakage due to employees “riding the clock.” By setting clock in and clock out periods for each employee, owners and operators can limit when an employee has access to the point-of-sale, and even require manager login approval if an employee misses a specific clock in or clock out “grace period.” Staff are unable to clock in for fellow workers if they are running late, protecting restaurants from profit leakage due to “buddy punching.”
Back-office labor forecasts and digital employee schedules enable owners to properly budget labor expenses based on upcoming sales expectations. Operators that provide employees with visibility of work schedules maintain greater control of labor spending while providing staff flexibility by managing planned and unforeseen shift adjustments. Digital employee schedules promote clear employer-employee communication and make it easy for managers to respond to the personal needs of their employees. Happier employees lead to improved worker satisfaction and staff morale, which contributes to increased labor retention rate and the success of the business.
