Mobile App Walkthrough: Areas & Schedules

Areas represent the different parts of your operation that leaders are responsible for (e.g., BOH, FOH, Delivery). These Areas help organize responsibilities on the Team Dashboard and ensure leaders can easily manage tasks and workflows for their part of the operation. You will connect each Area to the schedule categories that leaders need to see when building Setups. You do not need to create Areas for parts of your operation that do not require task and workflow management (e.g., Leadership, Administrative, Marketing).

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

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