Employee jobs are used to prevent an employee from accessing most pos and back office functions. If the employee attempts to access a restricted function, the manager override screen appears so that an employee with a job that has sufficient permissions can temporarily allow access to the restricted function. Restrictions are assigned based on a user's job and are accessible in Back Office > Employees >. Each permission is enabled by checking the box next to the permission name.

Default Order Type
Users with specialized permissions such as bartenders may find it convenient to bypass the start screen and view menu items directly after logging in. For example, to force the bartender directly to the bar order type on the order entry screen, select Bar as the default order type and Bottle Beer as the default bar category. The default menu category is selected on the Order Types configuration screen.
This feature is also convenient for counter staff in coffee houses, where the cashier can be taken directly to the most popular coffee drinks category after logging in.
