Setup, permissions & security
Restaurant Builder records how your restaurant runs—locations, departments, hours, sales categories and targets—so reports and AI use the right context. Invite managers by link, set each person’s access, and use the Security & Privacy center for MFA, sessions and support access.
Included in every plan. Centralized multi-location permissions in Group.

- Owners
- General managers
Everyone shares one login, or nobody knows what each person can see.
Each person has their own login and exactly the access they need.
