Stations (sections) allow you to assign Employees to a specific area of your operation while being assigned a Role for their shift. These Stations can be customized to fit your team's needs.
For example:
Stations can be assigned a Station # (default):
- Employee A can be scheduled for the Server Role, under Station 1.
- Employee B can be scheduled for the Server Role, under Station 2.
OR
You can create custom names for your Stations:
- Employee A can be scheduled for the Server Role, under the Patio Station.
- Employee B can be scheduled for the Server Role, under the Lounge Station.
