Managing Employees: Not the Headache You Think

If your staff worked as smoothly as the Phoenix™ Point-of-Sale system, your business would be virtually problem-free. But employees are human: they arrive too early, too late, or not at all. And keeping up-to-date on all their information and processing payroll takes valuable time. That's why Phoenix POS has a roster of features designed to ease employee management, freeing you to serve up a profit.

Graphical Labor Scheduling
Cut costs by scheduling exactly the amount of labor you need for a particular shift. With Phoenix's graphical daily and weekly schedule builders, you can build your schedule to a forecasted labor budget based on an hourly breakdown of projected sales and delivery count.

Receive and approve employee time off requests electronically, and notify employees of schedule changes automatically via e-mail or text message. Modeled after top-quality scheduling software and designed by customers at our recent user conference, the scheduling functionality in Phoenix POS can help you manage your business more profitably.

Employee Timekeeping and Payroll
Simplify employee timekeeping with Phoenix's integrated time clock which tracks hours worked, breaks, and lunches. Employees can be authorized for multiple job types at different wages.

Your office staff can use Phoenix's remote access feature to download payroll information and generate detailed reports or export the data into a spreadsheet for integration with your payroll software.

Labor Management
It's easy to let labor costs get out of control. But with the labor sales report and graph on the manager's home page (see graph to the right), you can get an instant glimpse of your labor costs in relation to your sales for any hour of the day. Phoenix POS' remote access feature lets you check this data on site or at home, any time.

Slash labor costs further with manager alerts that tell you when employees are approaching daily or weekly overtime–and notify you when they are late returning from a break. You can also prevent employees from clocking in before their scheduled shift.

Employee Alerts
In the foodservice business, there's a lot of employee data to monitor: food handling, driver's license, and insurance expirations. Phoenix POS alerts you on the Manager's Home page when an important expiration is about to occur and prevents employees from clocking in.

Employee E-mail
Improve employee communications with the e-mail confirmed messages feature, which prevents employees from clocking in unless they confirm they've read required messages. The system will notify you when an employee has opened a required e-mail from you. Use employee e-mail to track disciplinary actions or positive feedback. Phoenix POS keeps a permanent record of all these confirmed messages.

Security
Nothing gives peace of mind like a secure system. Phoenix POS lets you designate who has access to which system feature by assigning employees to one of six security workgroups. You designate which features that workgroup has access to. Then, if an employee's password is shared inappropriately, you need only change their password.

Phoenix POS gives you the information needed to make informed labor and scheduling decisions, manage problem employees, and keep your labor costs under control.
