Aloha CDM
The Centralized Data Management (CDM) feature of Aloha
Enterprise.com empowers you with the management of data
from a central location, thus significantly simplifying
your restaurant operations. It also eliminates duplicate
data entry of POS menu items, promotions, comps, and other
data, which decreases the chance for error, because with
CDM, the data is entered only once by the central site user,
and then sent via the Internet to the store sites that need
the update.
CDM provides the ability to differentiate between corporate-owned
and store-owned data, allowing for shared ownership between
corporate and the store. For example, employee data –
such as adding and terminating an employee – is considered
store-owned, but sales items – such as menu changes
and price changes – can be designated as corporate
owned, or perhaps "shared", meaning the data can
be updated by either the corporate user, or the store site
user. With CDM, data ownership is entirely up to headquarters,
and how much control they want to have over company POS
data.
The CDM set of tools enables corporate to control all aspects
of a POS database from a central location, and distribute
updates to the stores. Using the centralized model allows
customers to eliminate redundant entry of critical data
such as tax or menu item setup – encouraging managers
to attend to other mission-critical aspects of their business,
like servicing the guests, food preparation, and training
employees.
CDM can be purchased as a stand-alone product or integrated
with the Aloha Enterprise.com suite of products. CDM as
a standalone product requires the company to provide its
own mechanism for the data distribution. The powerful CDM
suite is built-in to the Aloha Enterprise.com platform,
which allows Enterprise users to seamlessly distribute all
data updates to each store, using highly redundant and well-proven
Internet communications software.
