      • Displays the Admin(s) on the contact page.
      • Admins also have an individual setting to choose if they would like to appear on the contact page and schedule.
      • When paired with the Appear as Employee setting, Admins are removable from custom group chats.

Preferences

Further customize your restaurant’s operations:

• Restaurant Type: Choose the type of restaurant or business you operate. This helps 7shifts understand and cater to as many of your restaurant needs as we can.
• Preferred Point of Sale (POS): Select the POS system your company uses. If you do not use a POS system, select "I don’t use a POS" from the dropdown. To set up an integration with a POS, follow the link to the Integrations page. This also helps us to prioritize future integrations, and assist you when new POS-related features become available.
• Preferred Payroll: Choose your preferred payroll provider. If you don’t use a payroll provider, select "No Payroll Provider." You can also navigate to the Integrations page to set up payroll integration or exports. This helps us to prioritize future integrations, and assist you when new Payroll related features become available.

Company Logo:

• Upload Company Logo: Add your company’s logo here. This logo will appear in various areas of 7shifts and communications, making it easier for employees to identify the organization.
