This article guides users on how to update labor or sales data by running Decision Logic’s Universal Data Transfer (UDT) application. 

Overview

Universal Data Transfer (UDT) is Decision Logic’s application used to import sales and labor data from the POS into Decision Logic’s platform.  The application is typically installed on the back office server.

UDT automatically sends the last 3 days of sales and last 7 days of labor to Decision Logic’s platform. 

There may be times when a user may need to run UDT, such as: 

• Labor data is incorrect or missing when comparing Decision Logic to the POS.

• Employee is not assigned a job code in the Employee Roster.

• Employee does not exist (unknown) in the Employee Roster.

• Missed declared tips for a tippable job code.

• Clearing an issue with a previously unmapped item.

When one of the examples from above occurs, users will need to update information by one of the following methods:

• Universal Data Transfer (UDT)

• End of Day

The method is determined by the type of Point Of Sale (POS) the store has.  Universal Data Transfer (UDT) is run when a store has the following POS:

• Micros

• Aloha

• Hunger Rush

• QuikServe
