Manage staff roles and permissions

Learn how to define your staff’s roles and allowed permissions on the Eats365 POS or on the Merchant Portal.

Roles determine what type of access level you can assign to an employee in the Eats365 POS. By default, the POS automatically sets the permission based on the role assigned to the staff member. You can change this later on in the POS settings.

In this article, you’ll learn about the different types of roles available on the POS, the permissions that you can grant to your staff, and how to manage your staff’s roles and permissions.

Types of roles

There are three types of roles that you can assign to your staff on the POS, which include: 

  • Cashier
  • Supervisor
  • Manager

These roles are presets in the Eats365 POS and already include default permissions granted to the role. However, you can also create a new role aside from these presets and customize the permissions that you want to grant to the new role.

Below are the default permissions granted to the preset roles available on the POS:
