Aloha Employee Magnetic Swipe Cards
- Thread starter KWPC2013
- Start date
There are no start and end characters.
Any magcard will work. Old visa card, Hotel keycard, casino card or even drivers license if your state uses magswipe.
The steps to add mag cards to users is very simple.
Have them log in with there number in the FOH.
If they have rights under access levels they can then go to functions, employee, change password. Swipe the card twice and all done.
From the back of house find the employee and add the check box to always use mag card

All Swipe cards have a prefix and suffix, for example, a Micros card looks like this when you read it through an encoder: ;:<>1234567891? The ; and the ? are added by the encoder when you encode track 2. Does Aloha follow this same format?
All cards have a prefix and suffix, Aloha just does not care what they are. As long as everyone uses a different card there are no specific characters needed. The card reader is reading them just as text them same way if you open notepad and then swipe a card. The text you see becomes their passcode.

AlohaRoss,
Thank You Very Much!
And just an FYI and the reason why I asked, Here is how the most common Maitre'D cards need to be programmed:
Note: Here is the employee card structure.
Cards must be burned on track 2, following this format:
;<=0202055900000=>00000000000000000000?
;<=0202056000000=>00000000000000000000?
;<=0202056100000=>00000000000000000000?
Where as:
;<=0202055900000=>00000000000000000000?
020 can be any number between 001 and 900 (this is the number employees available in POS Control)
20559 must be a unique number different for each card (this is the field that will populate as the unique employee password)
00000 must be at the end.
Now my original question should make sense LOL.
Thanks Again,
KWPC
