Employees – Permissions and Discounts Configuration Guide

The Employees section allows you to define employee permissions and control discount limits that staff can apply during order creation. These settings help balance operational flexibility with management control, ensuring staff can work efficiently while preventing misuse.

This section consists of two main parts:

Employee Permissions

Employee Discount Setting

1. Employee Permissions

Allow Employees to Clock In and Clock Out

This setting determines whether employees are allowed to clock in and out independently across all system applications.

When enabled

Employees can clock in and out themselves
No manager intervention is required
Works across all connected applications
Ideal for fast-paced environments

When disabled

Only managers or supervisors can clock employees in or out
Provides additional oversight and control

Typical use cases

Restaurants with many part-time or shift-based employees
High-volume operations where speed is essential
Locations without constant managerial presence

This setting simplifies time tracking while reducing administrative workload for supervisors.

2. Employee Discount Settings

The Employee Discount section allows you to control how much discount employees can apply to orders.

2.1 Maximum Discount Amount (€)

Example: €20.00

This setting defines the maximum monetary discount an employee may apply to a single order.

Prevents excessive discounting
Protects revenue
Applies to all employee-applied discounts

2.2 Maximum Discount Percentage (%)

Example: 25%

This setting defines the maximum percentage-based discount employees may apply.

Useful for larger orders
Provides flexibility without allowing unlimited discounts

How both limits work together

The system enforces both limits simultaneously
The applied discount must stay within both the amount and percentage limits
If either limit is exceeded, the discount will be blocked

This dual-limit approach ensures consistent and controlled discount usage.
