Why use these Aloha POS Server Swipe Cards as opposed to a 4 digit punch-in code? Here’s why;

One of the most common is through a trick called “The Wagon Wheel.”  How does it work?  A server starts a tab with a sandwich and a coke.  If the customer pays in cash, then the server goes into the POS system and transfers the coke off the check and closes out the tab to just the burger and pockets the cash. Then, the next time someone orders a coke and the server starts the ticket on that tab, ultimately transferring off the coke to another tab and pocketing the cash once again.
