* **Name** and **Email** of each team member
* **Role** — Owner, Restaurant Manager, or Staff Login
* **Outlet** — Which restaurant outlet they have access to
* **Last Login** — When they last signed in
* **Status** — Whether their account is Active

## How to Add a Staff Member

1. Click **+ Add** in the top-right corner.
2. In the **Add account** modal, choose an **Account type**:
    * **Staff login** — A restricted account where you choose exactly which sections the staff member can access. Ideal for kitchen staff, cashiers, or delivery coordinators.
    * **Restaurant manager login** — A full-access account with permission to every feature. No permission selection needed. Ideal for your restaurant manager.
3. Fill in the staff member's details:
    * **Full Name** — Their name
    * **Email** — Their login email address

## Managing Existing Staff

From the Staff list, click the **System** badge or the relevant action on a staff member's row to:
* **Edit** their details or permissions
* **Deactivate** their account to prevent login without deleting it
* **Delete** their account

| Tip: Use the Restaurant manager login type for trusted managers who need full access. Use Staff login with limited permissions for front-of-house or kitchen staff who only need to see orders and the menu.
