Pizza Hut Franchisee Slices Payroll Fraud with Biometrics - 1 views

Suqi Peng on 13 Feb 12Pizza Hut deployed fingerprint biometrics as a part of their point of sales (POS) systems in 118 locations throughout East Coast in South Carolina, North Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee and Virginia to reduce employee theft. Before installed the fingerprint reader, restaurant managers used simple ID number to authorize discount, overrides and voids. Moreover, employees also have their own ID number to clock in and out the payroll system. Because managers always need to share their authorization credentials with employees to fix some problems, some fraudulent employees use those credentials to steal money or check out early. By using fingerprint biometrics, restaurants' managers can eliminate the use of ID codes and accurately tying managers and cashiers to their actions.
