Aloha Payroll Solution...Any Ideas

[RosemarysBaby]

Aloha v.6
I feel like I'm still in the 90's, I need a better Payroll solution. The way I do it now is simply print out a P/R (about 11 pages) and fax it to my leasing PEO. The 1st of the year I'm dumping leasing (no longer a deal) and bringing P/R back in house.

I don't want to export P/R to ADP, Paychex or anyone else. I want to do it 100% in-house.

Ideally, I'd like to be able to export the P/R directly from Aloha to an accounting package that can process the P/R such as Quickbooks. All the companies that write interfaces such as iPOS say that QB's has no source ability to import "tips-in, tips-out" info. It would have to be done check by check, manually. yuk

I've even thought about a seperate Timeclock company and have the employees dual punch into Aloha and another Timeclock, whereas the Timeclock can export P/R info directly into QB's but they're not even sure of the tips deal.

Question:
Is there anyone doing P/R in-house and able to export Aloha to QB's or even any other Accounting package in the way I've described? I'm not married to QB's and can easily change in '09. Please help.

While not the cheapest it is the best payroll. Used it over 10 years in my restaurant,

Restaurant Technology Inc.

It was started by my former employer in the early 80's.

Thanx for that, but it is a bit more comprehensive than we need. I'm just a single small restaurant with only 2 mil in sales and 50 employees.

I did however find a time clock company that uses their proprietary clocking software (no hardware needed), they poll labor data daily from Aloha and accumulate in their program. Then on payday it will export into Quickbooks, seamlessly. All for only $500.

It sounds too good to be true. We'll see said the Zen Master.

I have worked with a company called In control pos. If this is what you are talking about my customer loves it. Works really well.

I did contact incontrol, they have iPos as I mentioned in my original post. Here's what they said and this is a copy/paste from my email from them:

John,
I received your request for more info about our Aloha to QuickBooks interface. Currently, we do not interface to Quickbooks payroll.

You can begin to see my frustation here. Incontrol's site looks like they can do it, they tell me they can't.

Do you know for sure that your customer is exporting Aloha directly to QB's? Are they polling daily the GNDTIME.DBF or using the Aloha Payroll Report export .csv file?

Thank You.

They use ADP not quickbooks. Sorry about that. I misunderstood...
