What is Audit Trail?

The audit trail is a detailed record of transactions, activities, and changes that have occurred within restaurant software and operational systems. This audit trail keeps a record of what actions were done, who did them, and when.

Audit trails are commonly used in-

• POS systems
• Inventory management systems
• Payroll systems
• Accounting systems
• Employee management systems

Restaurants use audit trails to improve accountability, monitor operations, and maintain accurate business records.

How does the audit trail work?

An audit trail automatically tracks all system activity and all transaction history as employees and managers use the restaurant software.

This usually looks something like this-

• A customer goes to the restaurant.
• This is automatically recorded by the software.
• The details, such as employee name, time, and type of action, are all stored by the system.
• Management or admins can retrieve the audit trail later for a report, investigation, or to monitor what has happened within the operation.
