Catering Attendance System
一、System Introduction
The ReCon Biometrics catering attendance system is a specialized attendance solution for businesses in the catering industry. Adapted to the episodic nature of work and high staff turnover characteristic of this industry, the system combines face recognition technology with a powerful network-based attendance platform to offer a solution which is accurate, secure and simple to use.
二、System Functions
1.Employee attendance recording: On duty, off duty, early departure, away, and return options are available for employees to choose from.
2.Employee scheduling: Scheduling employee shifts is possible - multiple shifts can be set within the same day, while vacation dates can also be configured.
3.Data recording: Effective data records make payroll management and viewing attendance data a breeze.
4.Statistical analysis: The attendance platform offers statistical analysis for easier comprehension of attendance data.
5.Report exports: System data can be monitored in real-time or exported by administrators to facilitate management.
6.Remote monitoring: The system works on local area networks, while remote monitoring and multi-branch management is also possible via the Internet.
三、 System Overview
When employees clock in at their scheduled time, ReCon’s face recognition terminals record the attendance of every employee and upload the data (e.g. time and location of arrival, and worker ID) to the attendance platform on the monitoring center. When employees clock in at other times, the employee can select from the authentication options available at the face recognition terminal (on duty, off duty, early departure etc.), and attendance details will be uploaded as before to the attendance platform. The platform statistically processes the attendance details of all employees, so that administrators can directly view collated information such as work hours, overtime hours or leave details.

● Intelligent self-learning function: Human faces are automatically captured, and a self-learning function is incorporated. The face database is dynamically updated for changes in hairstyle, skin color, age, so that human faces are always correctly recognized.
● Remove management: Remote viewing of data and control is simple using an Internet Explorer browser or client software.
● Complete attendance management software included: Managers can summarize and edit all data as required, and draw up a variety of attendance management, payroll management and personnel management reports to suit every situation.
