Everyone who stands at the till needs their own account. Not out of mistrust – but so that receipts, voids and settlements can be assigned to a person.

The staff list shows each person’s role and whether a till PIN is set
The staff list shows each person’s role and whether a till PIN is set – shown with sample data.

1. Creating staff

In the back office under Staff: name, role and till PIN (four to eight digits). Managers and admins – they also open the back office – additionally get an email address and a password.

2. Roles

Admineverything, including settings and admin accounts

Analyses such as the finance report are limited to managers and admins.

What a person may do at the till is enabled per staff member under Register permissions: cancellations (order/receipt), give discounts, issue vouchers, daily closing (Z), view reports, kitchen ticket reprint and restart/shut down device. The default is the role standard: managers and admins may do everything, cashiers and drivers only reprint and device; admins always keep all permissions. Free prices depend on the “Give discounts” permission.

3. Wages and travel costs

On the staff record you store the hourly wage or a fixed salary per month; for the role Driver additionally the method for travel pay: none, driver keeps delivery fee, flat rate per trip, mileage or flat rate per district (delivery zone). All of it feeds into the driver settlement and the monthly journal of the time tracking.

4. Leavers

Anyone who leaves is deactivated via the Active checkbox, not deleted – so the matching receipts stay assignable. Even Delete employee removes no data: the account is blocked and the PIN becomes invalid immediately; receipts and settlements are kept.

Assigning PINs: four identical digits and years of birth are quickly guessed if somebody looks over a shoulder. Assign the PIN yourself instead of letting people choose their own. Each PIN may be assigned only once in the business.
