As a Manager, upon clocking yourself in to start your work day, the next thing you do is setup your employees who are scheduled for that shift on Aloha POS, particularly the employee assigned to the cash drawer. Monitoring each of your employee’s schedule will prove to be a tough and stressful one along with the multiple tasks that you have on your plate each day, unless you are using NCR Back Office scheduling.
Efficient and proper scheduling creates organized employee management thereby giving some sense of satisfaction to both the manager and staff in carrying out their work relationship.
Saves you more money and time
Creating accurate work schedules for your staff with better restaurant staff scheduling takes minutes instead of hours. NBO scheduling will give you conflict-free schedules amongst your staff. This will also eliminate unnecessary overtime as the number of employees needed in a given shift can be easily detected. NCR back office scheduler is incredibly intuitive, it immediately alerts you of any and all open shifts and conflicts, so you will never be short staffed or overstaffed again.
Prevent Employee Theft
With NBO scheduling, you are also able to prevent employee theft which is a big problem for restaurants today. Restaurant owners lose billions of dollars each year when staff members steal everything from cash, food, and alcohol to supplies, equipment, and retail items according to the US Chamber of Commerce. Knowing the employees who are scheduled for a particular shift will make it easier for you to catch the culprit.
Below are ways to prevent, if not fully eradicate this unacceptable problem of employee stealing:
- Limit employee access to the POS. A lot of people accessing the system can throw out accountability when it comes to your tracking and analytics.
- Provide the right permission to the scheduled user.
- Using biometric access instead of passwords to prevent password theft or password sharing.
- Employee theft should be explained well to every employee in the employee manual and how they will be sanctioned if caught doing the act of stealing.
Limiting access to the POS, will enable you to monitor your employees’ attendance and activities well. Being able to manage employee schedule through NBO scheduling will cut your labor costs and boost productivity. Focus on serving great food while keeping your customers happy and spend less time managing your staff, leave it to NCR Aloha Labor scheduler.
