Hello everyone,
I am the F&B Director of a restaurant group. We have 4 restaurants all running Aloha. Each location has a different version of Aloha. Our biggest location has a pretty old version running because we have a massive 14 terminal network and encountered issues with upgrades because of all the patch work NCR had done on it.
Anyway, we have about 300 employees and a lot of them work in various locations throughout the week. So, our payroll process is not very efficient. We basically hand write each employee's additional hours from other locations onto the payroll paperwork from our largest location. We use a pencil and a calculator and add those hours up. Then it is handed off to our Admin Assistant. She then goes through manually and has to calculate the exact point in which over-time begins for each employee and has to make a manual adjustment to the pay rates on all 4 of the separate pages, depending on the hours worked for the remainder of that week.
So I am wondering if there is anything on the POS side of things, or any available application that can merge Aloha payroll export files. Paychex is who we use to input all the data and pay the employees. I was hoping there is something out there that enables us to merge the payroll files, while keeping the location data intact. So based on a 40 hours work week, then overtime activating, the master payroll file would just combine all dates and hours for each employee's data from the 4 separate files, thus making an accurate calculation of OT based on the merged data. The key would be retaining the locations of each clock in, so labor can be charged properly from an accounting standpoint. We use the same POS #'s for each employee at each location and have the names spelled exactly the same etc. for the purposes of the paychex inputting.
Does anyone have any advice on this?
