👥 Managing Staff
Staff are the people in your restaurant who handle and serve reservations. Each staff member can be assigned reservations and receive push notifications for new bookings.
Where do I manage staff?
In the left menu, click Reservations → Staff.
Adding a new staff member
- Click Add Staff Member.
- Fill in:
- First Name and Last Name
- Display Name — how the name appears in the reservation system and to guests (defaults to first + last name)
- Optionally:
- Linked User Account — if the staff member has a login account, link it here
- Available for Reservations — check this if this staff member takes reservations
- Click Save.
What does "Available for Reservations" mean?
This determines whether the staff member appears as a possible host when creating a reservation.
- ✅ Checked — staff member appears in the list when creating a reservation and can be assigned bookings
- ❌ Unchecked — staff member is not available for reservations (e.g. kitchen staff who don't interact with guests)
Linked User Account
Each staff member does not need a login account. The staff profile is used purely for tracking names and assigning reservations.
If you want the employee to log into the admin panel and manage reservations, create a user account (see Managing Users) and then link it to the staff profile.
Push notifications for staff
When a new reservation is assigned to a specific staff member, the system can send them an instant push notification directly to their browser or phone.
How push notifications work and how to activate them: → Staff Push Notifications
Grow plan — limits
On the Grow plan you can have a maximum of 10 staff members. Once the limit is reached, the system will not allow adding another.
