RESTAURANT REVENUE CONTROLS · MANAGEMENT REVIEW
A-List helps restaurant operators review POS adjustments, identify exceptions that deserve attention, and establish clear approval and follow-up procedures. The objective is consistent oversight of revenue activity, with management responsible for investigation and decisions.
Review the activity that needs management attention.
Look across comps, voids, discounts, refunds, cash activity, and closing exceptions with clear ownership for the next review step.
Daily signals to review consistently
The focus is a clear review routine, not automated conclusions. Exception categories give management a practical starting point for review.
Comps and discounts
Review reason codes, approval expectations, and patterns that merit a management look.
Voids and refunds
Check timing, ticket history, supporting records, and whether the review path was followed.
Cash and closing exceptions
Identify cash activity and close-out differences that should be routed to the responsible manager.
A repeatable management review sequence
The review process is designed to create a documented path from exception to follow-up—not to make an automatic finding.
01 · Identify exception
02 · Check ticket history and approval
03 · Assign follow-up
04 · Document resolution
What the work can deliver
Report review, exception definitions, approval responsibilities, a management checklist, and an escalation cadence.
What is needed to begin
A management sponsor and access to authorized reports. A-List brings Aloha reporting experience to the review. Scope depends on the reports and systems available.
A hypothetical example—not an accusation
A late-night void after payment might be flagged and investigated against ticket history, approval records, and other available documentation. A flag is not proof of theft; management reviews the records and makes the decision.
