• Name and Email of each team member

• Outlet — Which restaurant outlet they have access to
• Last Login — When they last signed in
• Status — Whether their account is Active

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.

• • Full Name — Their name
  • Email — Their login email address
  • Password — Set an initial password (minimum 6 characters)

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.
