Recommended for: Owners and admins Time to complete: 5 minutes to learn

Eniston uses four main staff roles. Give each person the lowest role they need to do their job properly.

Owner

The owner has full control of the business account.

Typical access:

  • billing and subscription management

  • business-wide settings

  • staff and role management

  • branch, menu, and operational access

Use for:

  • business founders

  • the main account holder

  • a very small number of trusted decision-makers

Admin

The admin role has strong operational control without being the main account owner.

Typical access:

  • menu and branch management

  • staff administration

  • order and reporting access

Usually not for:

  • ownership changes

  • sensitive owner-only billing actions

Manager

The manager role is for day-to-day operational oversight.

Typical access:

  • managing orders

  • managing menu content

  • helping run branch operations

Managers are often branch-specific rather than business-wide.

Staff

The staff role is for front-of-house and order handling.

Typical access:

  • using EPOS

  • handling orders

  • branch-level operational tasks

Usually not for:

  • billing

  • high-risk settings

  • wider staff administration

Recommended Rule

Use owner access sparingly. Most operational team members should be admins, managers, or staff.
