The Report Module

Although Aloha provides for the easy addition of straight Crystal Reports, the Report Module provides programs that produce reports not offered in Aloha that require additional number crunching or other figure handling methods that cannot be performed by a simple Crystal Report. The current Report programs that are included in the module are described below.

Average Table Turn
The result of this report is just as it sounds.  The report breaks out the table turn averages, not only per employee, but also per period for each of the tables set up in the Aloha system.

Category
This report simply breaks out the items listed under each category in Aloha.  However, since printing out all of this information can produce a rather lengthy outcome, the Category Report allows the user to choose distinct categories to view.  This information becomes useful for those customers needing to straighten out or just get a handle on how their categories are configured.

Guest Check Average
In this case, the report not only shows the average guest check sale per employee, but also the average for the entire restaurant.  Employees can rate themselves against the average and adjust their techniques accordingly.  Management can also use this data for performance evaluations.

Hourly Labor Tracking
The hourly Labor Tracking Report contains a great deal of information, including sales, number of employees, guest count, total employee hours, labor dollars and the percentage of labor dollars per the sales for each hour.  For comparison purposes, the information for the same day on the previous week is provided on the left hand side of the report.  There is also a line between each hour to display the differences from hour to hour.

Labor Percentage
The Labor Percentage Report shows the break out of Labor Percentage, based on job code and store sales.

Minute Item Count
Many facilities have the need to track the amount of an item sold throughout the day, based upon a certain time increment.  With the Minute Item Count Report, this goal can be accomplished.  Simply choose the item based on its item number and fill in the time increment in minutes.

Performance Measure
A useful tool for comparing servers’ sales in a selected performance measure and job code, the Performance Measure report also shows the item count sold for each employee.  As in the Guest Check Average Report, the Performance Measure Report calculates the restaurant average for comparison purposes against the individual employees.
