  t_subheadline: Asked Questions
  t_subheadline2: Everything you need to know about the Altametrics platform and our enterprise restaurant management software.
  index_faq_section_items:
    - t_question: What makes Altametrics different from a basic scheduling app?
      t_answer: Altametrics connects scheduling with the broader workforce lifecycle, including demand forecasting, labor visibility, employee requests, manager approvals, and connected restaurant operations. The result is a more complete operating picture before, during, and after each shift.
    - t_question: How does AI help control restaurant labor costs?
      t_answer: AI can compare anticipated demand with employee availability, role requirements, wage information, and labor budgets. It highlights potential coverage gaps or overtime exposure so managers can review options and make better-informed staffing decisions.
    - t_question: Does AI replace the restaurant manager?
      t_answer: No. AI provides scheduling recommendations and highlights potential risks, but managers remain responsible for reviewing decisions, approving changes, and accounting for the realities of their restaurant.
    - t_question: What can employees do in the mobile experience?
      t_answer: Employees can view schedules, share availability, request time off, offer or swap shifts, claim open shifts, and communicate with their team. Available capabilities depend on the products and configuration selected.
    - t_question: Can scheduling connect with our POS, time clock, and payroll systems?
      t_answer: Altametrics can support connected workflows across sales, scheduling, time and attendance, payroll, and restaurant operations. Supported integrations, data availability, and implementation requirements should be reviewed with the Altametrics team.
    - t_question: How does the platform support labor compliance?
      t_answer: Configurable rules and alerts can help managers identify potential break, minor-labor, overtime, and predictive-scheduling concerns for review. Requirements vary by jurisdiction, business policy, and platform configuration.
    - t_question: Can Altametrics support franchise groups and enterprise brands?
      t_answer: Yes. Altametrics is designed to support restaurant operations ranging from individual locations to multi-unit, franchise, and enterprise organizations, with workforce visibility across the locations and teams included in each implementation.
