Adding an Employee to a Branch
Step-by-step guide to provisioning a staff account, assigning an operational role, and branch assignment.
Branch Assignment Architecture
Every employee account belongs strictly to one designated branch.
If a staff member works across two different branches, separate employee accounts must be created for each branch and will count toward your staff capacity separately. Direct employee transfers between branches are not supported.
The Owner can create employees across all branches. A Branch Manager can create and manage staff accounts only within their assigned branch context.
Strict Single-Branch Account Binding
Staff shifts, orders, kitchen tickets, and cash handling are isolated by branch to maintain complete financial and operational integrity.
