Configure Employee Reconciliation to be initiated from a FOH terminal only or to be initiated from a FOH terminal and completed on the BOH terminal. Choose one method over the other based on your operating procedures, security, time, and the ability to tie up the Aloha Point-of-Sale (POS) terminals. If you choose to reconcile from the Back-of-House (BOH), the employee logging in to the BOH and initiating the procedure must have a security role with access to Payment Reconciliation.

To determine the location from which to initiate the Employee Reconciliation process:

• Select Maintenance > Business > Store.
• Select the Store Settings tab.
• Select the Security group located at the bottom of the screen.
  
• Under the POS Security group bar, select either Front of House or Front of House and Back of House from the 'Run employee reconciliation from' option.
• Click Save in the Command panel.
• Click Close in the Command panel to exit the Store function.

If you select Front of House and Back of House, you must also ensure the BOH employee has a sufficient BOH security role to access the Payment Reconciliation menu option from the Functions menu.

To set a security role with the ability to perform Employee Reconciliation from the BOH:

• Select Maintenance > Labor > Security Roles.
• Select the security level assigned to the employee needing to run Payment Reconciliation from the BOH from the drop-down list.
• Select the POS tab.
• Under the Functions group bar, locate Payment Reconciliation and select View as the access right.
• Click Save in the Command panel.
• Repeat this procedure for other security roles needing to run Payment Reconciliation from the BOH.
• Click Close in the Command panel to exit the Security Roles function.
