Different Wages For Different Jobs?
Occasionally we run across stores that have a clear delineation between the job the employee is assigned to and the wage that employee will be paid. SP-1 has a clear cut method of dealing with this.
Let’s set the example up first. . . Take a typical location that does delivery and dine in orders. In this scenario you may have employees that work as delivery drivers and are paid a lower wage than a cook because they are being supplemented by the delivery tips (hopefully!). Now, to further complicate things, on certain days of the week one of these drivers works as a cook at a higher than normal (for him) wage!
With SP-1 you can utilize our Job Class system to accommodate this easily. The Job Classes are setup in System Setup. In this section of the program, you assign the three letter id for the job and the more descriptive name on the right hand side.

We do it here at SelbySoft and it helps us in making sure that the employee and the company are on the same page. For anyone that is interested in how we do it, we have a three month evaluation and training period before any raises and before the rest of the guys stop referring to them as “that new guy” and actually use their name.
This is a really great feature to help track and control your training programs in your location.

Recently, I had a conversation with a customer about his delivery drivers. He explained to me how his insurance company bills him based on the payroll hours of his employees.
The insurance company bills insurance for employees at $2 per $100 in payroll for kitchen prep and servers and then $7 per $100 for delivery drivers.
The issue that he had (last year and this year) is that the $7 figure on drivers is based on the clock in and out time. Realistically, the higher insurance rate should only be based on the time the drivers are actually on the road and not based on the rest of the time when they are working inside!
So, the question was posed . . . How could we help?
It turns out, quite a bit! Utilizing our XML Ticket export in SP-1, we were able to gather some important data for the insurance company as well as some statistics to help understand delivery. Over the last year they have had:
A total of almost 7,000 deliveries
Total time on the road – 2,830 hours
Average time of 24 minutes per run
The most important figure was the 2830 hours on the road. This allowed the customer to show the insurance company that the rest of the payroll for these employees was in house and not on the road.
This resulted in a savings of $5 for every $100 in driver payroll. The grand total in savings?
So, if you deliver and are curious about what you might be able to save, call us!

I have attended one trade show and am on my way to the next this week.
During these shows I normally give a presentation on how to use technology to track and increase sales.
It always amazes me how excited people get when they figure out how to use these tools to help enhance the service and training in the store as well as ultimately the full experience the customer receives.
What happens next is curious. A certain percentage of people forget the reasons that they originally were excited about the tools and stop really using them. I typically will talk about a number of methods to accomplish this:
Forced modifiers to help your employees introduce new options, increase order accuracy and even up sell.
Introducing remote monitors and printers to help aid with cutting down on theft, increase order accuracy, and finally just make things easier for your crew.
Tracking and implementing discounts and coupons and then using the online tools like twitter, facebook, and foursquare to promote your store.
Tracking menu categories and seeing what changes need to be made. Really looking at if you need to eliminate drinks etc.
Inventory control and cogs tracking.
Theft controls like audit, gross sales by employee, discounts by employees.
The above are just some of the highlights of my topics. All of these are relatively easy to accomplish with our POS. So if you have not looked at these items in a while, take some time to revisit what you are doing.

Do your employees bug you about the time that they work? We have a feature that will allow your employees to see how many hours they worked each time they clock out.
So, when an employee clocks out SP-1 will print a receipt with the clock in, clock out and total hours worked as a receipt for the employee!
This option can be found in System Setup, Operations:1 and then select Print Employee Hours Summary on Clock Out.

This morning I had an email asking about non-taxable sales and I thought it would make a good blog topic!
Basically there are two things we talk about with non-taxable sales. . . The first is Tax Exempt situations. These are the situations where you are selling to a non-taxable organization, group or person. For instance, church, school, people from Alaska or Oregon. With this, you can actually create a customer entry for each person by adding a customer in Order Entry and then making sure the Taxable switch is not selected. This will allow you to track each non-taxable order made by that individual.
Now, if this is a very rare event for you, then you might want to create one customer and call it Tax Exempt. This gives you the ability to immediately handle the order in the future without going through the trouble of entering a customer.
These transactions will show up on the Business Summary under Tax Exempt Sales.
The second scenario is when you have specific items that are non-taxable. SP-1 handles up to 5 different tax rates and then also a sixth when the tax is set to 0. So, on your Menu Groups, you have the ability to set each menu item to a specific tax (or 0 tax in this case) and to do this by the order type! For example, you might have an item that you have to charge tax on when it is prepared in house but not for to-go orders.
These taxes also show on the Business Summary under the Tax Rates as None.
I hope this helps.
