Understanding Employee Job Roles
Job roles enable you to define a distinct set of permissions and access levels for your employees. These roles can be tailored and adjusted by your system administrator whenever necessary. This feature empowers you to configure access to various aspects of your business operations, including menus, payments, restaurant settings, customer data, accounts, and reports. By assigning specific roles, such as 'Restaurant Manager,' you can ensure that employees have appropriate access to the data and functionalities relevant to their responsibilities.
