Overview

Users can create multiple schedules to use when creating employee schedules with the Labor Scheduler. For example, stores can have a separate schedule for managers than their employees. Employees can be broken into schedules such as front-of-house, back-of-house, server, hosts, bar, etc.

Before proceeding with the setup, please ensure that your Employee Roster is up-to-date and that POS Admin has Job Codes properly configured for Manager Labor Types.
