Team & roles

One dashboard, the right slice for each person

Your kitchen needs orders. Your host needs reservations. Nobody needs your revenue reports except you. Scanqur’s team management lets you invite staff with a role (manager, kitchen, waiter, host or staff), and each sees exactly the screens their job requires.

The shared-password era

When everyone is the owner, nobody is safe

How small teams actually run their tools

The typical setup: one account, one password, written on a sticky note by the register. Every waiter, cook and weekend temp logs in as "the owner". Then a price gets changed by accident, a product vanishes, and there is no way to know who, when, or how. And when someone leaves, changing the password logs out the entire team mid-service.

Access should mirror the org chart

A restaurant already runs on roles: kitchen, floor, host stand, management. Scanqur maps its dashboard to those same roles, so the software finally matches how the room actually works. Each person gets their own login and precisely the access their job needs; nothing more, nothing missing.

The basics

How roles work in Scanqur

Five roles, ready to use

You invite each team member with one of five roles, each mapped to real duties:

  • Manager: everything except owner-level settings (menu, orders, reservations, reports)
  • Kitchen: the live order feed, to see what to prepare and mark it done
  • Waiter: orders on the floor (view, deliver, complete)
  • Host: reservations (confirm, decline and manage bookings)
  • Staff: day-to-day basics without settings or reports

Invites that fit how teams hire

Send an invitation to a specific email, or generate a shareable invite link with a role attached, which is practical when onboarding several people at once. New teammates accept, create their own login, and land directly in their role’s view.

Why it matters

The real costs of one-account operations

No safe offboarding

When a shared password walks out the door with a former employee, your only fix disrupts everyone. With individual accounts, you remove one person in one tap.

Accidents with full power

A trainee looking for today’s orders has no business two taps from your pricing. Full access for everyone means every mistake is possible for anyone.

Cluttered screens slow the work

A cook confronted with analytics, settings and reservations hunts for the one screen they need. Role-scoped views make each job faster, not just safer.

The Scanqur way

Team features sized for real teams

Personal logins for everyone

Each teammate works under their own account. Accountability without surveillance, and no more sticky-note passwords.

Role-based permissions

Five roles cover the classic restaurant org chart. Access follows the role, and a promotion is a one-tap role change.

Shareable invite links

Onboard the summer crew with one link per role instead of five individual emails.

Focused screens per role

Kitchen opens to live orders; the host opens to bookings. Less searching, fewer mistakes, faster shifts.

Step-by-step guide

Set up your team in fifteen minutes

  1. 1

    Map people to roles

    Before touching the dashboard, list your team and their duties. If a duty isn’t in someone’s job, it shouldn’t be in their dashboard. When in doubt, choose the narrower role.

  2. 2

    Send the invitations

    In the Team page, invite each person by email with their role, or generate a role-scoped invite link for group onboarding.

  3. 3

    Have everyone log in before the shift

    Each teammate accepts, sets a password, and takes a two-minute tour of their view. Kitchen sees orders; host sees reservations. The tour is short because the screens are.

    Tip: Onboard on a quiet afternoon, not five minutes before Friday service.

  4. 4

    Retire the shared login

    Once everyone has their own account, the owner login goes back to being yours alone. That password changes today.

  5. 5

    Review the roster when the team changes

    New hire → invite with a role. Departure → remove the account, effective immediately. Promotion → change the role. The roster should always match the schedule on the wall.

Access hygiene

Team management best practices

Do this

  • Grant the minimum, expand on need

    It is painless to widen someone’s access when a real need appears, and awkward to narrow it after an incident. Start narrow.

  • Remove departures the same day

    Offboarding is one tap. Make it part of the same conversation as returning the apron.

  • Use manager roles for real deputies

    The person who runs the room when you are away should have manager access, so you can actually be away.

Avoid this

  • Don’t hand out manager roles as compliments

    Roles are about duties, not seniority or trust. A ten-year veteran waiter still doesn’t need pricing access to deliver plates.

  • Don’t share accounts between shift-mates

    Two cooks sharing one kitchen login recreates the old problem in miniature. Accounts are free, give each person theirs.

  • Don’t leave invite links floating

    Treat role-scoped invite links like keys: share them deliberately and regenerate them once the hiring wave is done.

Real-world example

A restaurant owner takes his first real day off

Hassan ran his 40-seat restaurant through one Scanqur login, his. Every 86’d dish, every reservation confirmation, every order question went through his phone. His last full day off predated the restaurant.

Setting up the team took one quiet Tuesday afternoon: his second-in-command became manager, two cooks got kitchen access, three waiters got waiter roles via a shared invite link, and his host got reservations. Then he changed his own password and kept it to himself.

The room reorganised itself within a week. The kitchen marks orders done at the pass, the host confirms bookings from the stand, and his deputy handles menu changes on Hassan’s day off, which now exists and is a Sunday.

The unexpected bonus came a month later, when a waiter left on short notice. Hassan removed the account from his couch in ten seconds. No password change, no team disruption, no sticky note.
