Areas are the different sections in your restaurant that employees work such as FOH and BOH. Areas define where people show up in the app and connect to your scheduling software so that when your leaders are building their Setups only the employees they need will appear

To edit Areas, you must have the "Manage Admin Settings" permission. This will allow you to edit restaurant settings. For more information on different role permissions visit Edit Role Permissions

Navigate to Areas

To edit your store's Areas, you'll need to navigate to the Areas screen in Admin

To edit an Area's connected Schedules, check out Connect Schedules to an Area

 


 

Connect Schedule Types

To ensure only the users needed appear when building a Setup, customize which schedule types from your Scheduling Partner are imported to each Area of your restaurant

To connect schedules to an Area, you must have the "Manage Admin Settings" permission. This will allow you to edit restaurant settings. For more information on different role permissions visit Edit Role Permissions

Group 5427.png  Group 5430.png

  1. Tap on an Area you'd like to connect schedule types to
  2. Select the schedule categories that should connect with this area
    • Selected schedules will display a check mark on the right side
  3. Tap Save
    • Now when employees are scheduled in Back of House, they'll automatically appear in the Back of House setups!

Schedule categories tied to more than one Area are able to be sorted when building Setups

 


Update a User's Area

Upon their initial sign-in to Ecolab KitchenIQ™, users will select the restaurant Area they belong to. If needed, this choice can be modified in Areas

To change a user area, you must have the "Manage Admin Settings" permission. This will allow you to manage roles and users. For more information on different role permissions visit Edit Role Permissions

To change existing areas, check out Create, Edit & Delete Areas

Group 5383.png    Group 5382.png

  1. Tap the + sign on an Area to add employees
  2. Select any user you'd like to add to the Area
    • You can select multiple users
  3. Tap Save
    • All users displaying a check mark will be added to the selected Area

The schedule type a user is assigned in your Scheduling system will override their Area in KitchenIQ when creating Setups (e.g. a user who is assigned to the BOH Area in KitchenIQ, but scheduled a FOH shift in your Scheduling system will appear in FOH setups and not BOH)
