You time your sprinklers, you time your eggs, and you even time your lights turning on and off when you are on vacation.  So why not take advantage of Aloha Events and time your restaurant?  Many of you know to use events to turn on and off things like Happy Hour, and Specials, but consider the myriad of other uses for scheduled events.  A very common way events are used is to tailor the menu that each person sees to their job code and time of day.  That way a server sees breakfast in the morning and dinner in the evening which facilitates efficiency.  

You can also use events to display different messages on the log-in screen or on the guest check at different times of day, or even on a specific holiday.  Consider using timers to control the promotions that you allow.  If you have a coupon that is only good on Tuesday, Aloha can show that coupon on your promo screen only on Tuesday.  No more having someone accept coupon at a time when it is not valid.  Do you want a particular server terminal to send all its drink orders to a particular bar between 5 pm and 9 pm on Saturday?  Well, Aloha events were made for you.     

Take the time to look at the multitude of different things that can be controlled by Events by logging into Aloha Manager then going to Maintenance > System > Events and browsing through the list.  Then tap into your creativity and give us a call with questions.
