This help document describes how to configure the Canteen Management software to analyse canteen usage and cost.
Step 1: Add Canteen Devices

I’ve three canteens in my company with each having a time attendance device to capture canteen attendance.
Location Houston has two canteens one for Staffs and the other for Workers.
Location Miami has one canteen for all staff.

Step 2: Define Zone wise Canteen Rates

Over here, you can specify the canteen rate for each hour of the day. You can specify different rates for different calendar periods.

At Houston, Breakfast is served between 7AM and 10AM and it costs $3.
Lunch is served between 12 Noon and 3PM and it costs $5.
Dinner is served between 7PM and 10PM and cost is $4.
And this plan is for the whole year.

Now, let me configure the canteen rates for Miami.

That’s it! The canteen configuration is done!
Step 3: Analyze Canteen
Let us analyze the canteen usage and cost for Houston and Miami.

At Houston, on first of February, 44 employees accessed the canteen for breakfast between 7AM and 10AM.

And the overall cost for the day is $374.

And the overall cost for the month is $48718.

At Miami, 256 employees accessed the canteen for the month and the cost for the month is $16333.

The charts show the daily employee and punch count.
