Skyrocketing levels of fraud, enabled by the accelerated adoption of digital commerce and the ever-increasing sophistication of scammers, have overwhelmed traditional controls in recent years. Unfortunately, employees are sometimes part of restaurant fraud, which can have significant financial implications for owners.
Are you concerned about employees engaging in repeated fraudulent transactions or customers misusing points? Combating restaurant fraud isn't easy, we hear you. But with our latest feature, ‘Points Accumulation Fraud Prevention’, businesses can place restrictions on illicit point accrual.
In situations where our system identifies an employee accumulating points multiple times within a single day, it may indicate that they are linking guest transactions to their personal account to fraudulently accumulate points. We have received numerous customer complaints regarding this specific type of illicit behavior and have decided to take action.
How does it work? Starting today, Appfront users can now restrict point accruals based on various criteria, including time intervals, visits, platforms (web or in-store), and customer groups exempt from the limit (ie: enthusiasts who visit multiple times a day). Additionally, the system allows business owners to set the limit amount for points/dollar accumulation as well.
