What are Group Permissions?

Group Permissions is the name of an access control setting by which restaurants can grant particular system permissions to a set of employees depending on their respective job roles and responsibilities. Rather than giving every employee permission access one-by-one, restaurants can define a group of permissions and can then assign the employees to those permissions.

Common uses for group permissions include-

  • POS systems
  • Restaurant management software
  • Inventory software
  • Payroll software
  • Reporting software

Group permissions will assist restaurants with security, responsibility, and operational control.

How Do Group Permissions Work in Restaurants?

The organization of employees into various role-based categories with preset access levels is what group permissions are. Here's how the process typically works-

  • Groups of employees are created by job codes in the restaurant.
  • Each group is given permission.
  • An employee is associated with each group.
  • Automatic granting of access based on the permission of the group is implemented by the system.
  • Permissions are updated when the roles are modified by the manager.

Managers can access reports and discounts, while servers are only able to use functions related to taking orders.
