- Example
- Synergy Software – we calculate $15.00 per hour prep labor even though we are paying $9 on average.If an hors d’oeuvres takes 2 hours to create 100. We calculate it at 3.Epicurean’s Synergy pricing vs.”true” pricing based on today’s cost
- eTime Xpress – this is our control central for our management of employees hours and employee informationEmployees – all employee dataRegions – all event data that has come over from CatereaseVisual Scheduler – the tool that allows us to schedule employees and auto populate shiftsControl Center – oversee employee shifts in live timeTime & Attendance – manage employee’s shift information after the shift and before sending to payrollBilling – how to bill for hours worked (which we don’t do in eTime)Payroll – run our automatic payroll export to CoAdvantageVoice Xpress – module to control how our employees clock in/out via 1. biometric scanner 2. call in over the phone 3. log in through the web
- Update Caterease EmployeesThis will take your employees loaded in the eTime program and push them to your Caterease program. The information transfers from the employees database in eTime to the Employee Manager in Caterease. The purpose is to have the employees scheduled in etime show linked to the staff scheduled on the event. The SEP will know who is working their party, we can then calculate job costing properly after the fact, there is a historical record of the staff that worked and what the actual hours worked were (this is an easy reference guide for billing for additional hours, when booking the same party again for a repeat client or knowing that the staff worked late last time and why)
- 3. Update Caterease Scheduled StaffThe feature will move the scheduled staff from the Visual Scheduler in eTime to the event in Caterease.
- This is where our employees go to clock in and out on the job site. It is a website that allows them to punch in and out of their shift and it also allows them to manage their schedule and availability.
- To punch in to a shift click here.
- Clock in, select your shift, and confirm clocking in to shift. You are now clocked in. Or out.
- An employee must specify what days and times they are available to work. Click Specify Availability. Select the day you are putting your hours in to work, and fill in the availability record window that pops up. Your employees can copy their availability week to week. For example, if you have a college student working as a server, their schedule can be set for the whole semester quite easily.
- Using gmail we email the Supervisor for each job a copy of their SEO, the packsheet, and the Supervisor report. At the end of their shift, the Supervisor replies to the manager report and fills out each field in the body of the email, and sends it off to the Service Manager, the SEP for the job, and department managers.
