About Clock-In Movie

With the Clock-In Movie feature, available in Aloha® Quick Service and Aloha Table Service, the system can automatically play a 'movie' for specific employees, or all employees, upon clock-in. This is a great tool for training and motivating your employees, and greatly reduces your training costs.

With this feature, you can do the following:

• Assign a movie to play for specific job codes.
• Assign a movie to play for specific employees.
• Define a range of dates for which a movie plays.
• Control the time of day a movie plays.
• Define the number of times your employees must view a movie.

SCENARIO: To reduce labor and training costs, you configure the Point-of-Sale (POS) system to require your kitchen staff to watch an instructional movie when they clock in. When an employee finishes watching the movie, they log off the terminal and begin their regular job functions.
