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. |

Digital Menus Offer Hygienic Alternatives to Printed Menus
Prevent the Spread of Illness During Peak Seasons
2-minute read ---
The emphasis on hygiene in the dining industry has never been greater, especially during the fall and winter months known as “flu season.” That is why many restaurants have updated their operation to offer digital menus as a hygienic alternative to physical, printed menus, providing peace of mind to customers concerned about picking up an illness or germs when they dine out. Printed menus, which are handled by countless customers and staff members throughout the day, can easily become avenues for germs and bacteria. Most antibacterial cleaning products require several minutes to take full effect. Plus, if printed menus are wiped down with a single cleaning cloth between uses, the cloth will actually spread germs across multiple menus, not wipe them away. As a result, printed restaurant menus may actually be the dirtiest thing customers will come in contact with in a restaurant. |
On the other hand, digital menus offer a hygienic alternative to printed menus that helps protect guests from unwanted germs and prevent the spread of illness during peak seasons.
