Job Permissions

[khusted]

Toast REALLY needs to have permissions follow the JOB, NOT the employee! This is one of the MOST frustrating parts of Toast (2nd being they took the option away to disable the search option with the new POS experience, which is causing major issues)!!!

We use Toast Payroll and tip manager, we cannot do that.

As far as the search option goes - if you have multiple items in multiple menus (example "coke"), when they search it, they end up ringing in the wrong from the wrong menu  because they are searching it.

The search button is an issue because employees don't pay attention and search, click on first item that pops up, vs ensuring they are placing correct order.

I wish there was a way to change this so that permissions were attached to the specific job, not the employee.  We have separate permissions for each job position for a reason, and like a previous poster said, it's really annoying when a server clocks in as a host when they're working as a server.  Hosts don't report tips, so the server seems to be denied the 'opportunity' to report cash tips, because Host is not a tipped position.  I tried having 2 clock in numbers for an employee that manages occasionally but is a server most of the time.  We don't use Toast payroll, but even so, overtime wasn't considered when using two different clock-in codes, which could have caused a HUGE issue if it had gone un-noticed.

Based on this post, albeit over a year ago, there is some demand for permissions to be linked to the job, not the employee.  Perhaps it can be a feature request.  I think there are enough Toast users that would appreciate the change.

They are implementing job-specific permissions coming soon!!!!

That's great news.  Thank you for the reply!
