A Job Position in the Bridge defines a specific role within your organization, controlling that role's responsibilities and access to POS functions. Each new position you create must be assigned to a Job Position Category, which groups similar roles together for improved organization and reporting.
This process allows you to:
-
Create a detailed job profile with a specific title, pay rate, and a unique set of POS permissions.
-
Assign the new position to a Job Position Category (like 'Front of House' or 'Back of House') to ensure your employee structure is properly organized.
Note:
- To create or edit Job Positions, you must have the Manage Job Positions permission enabled in your assigned Bridge Role.
- A Job Position cannot be deleted if it is assigned to an employee.
To Add a New Job Position:
1. Navigate to the Personnel menu in the Bridge and select Job Positions
2. Click the button to bring up the form for creating a new position
3. Configure your Job Position:
A. Enter the required Default Pay Rate for the new position in an hourly wage format
B. Assign a Job Position Category to the Job Position
Note: The Job Position Category is a required field used to group similar roles (e.g., 'Servers,' 'Hosts') for easier management and reporting.
Before creating a new job position, first ensure that the category you wish to assign it to already exists. If it doesn't, you will need to create it first. For a complete walkthrough on creating one, see our article: How to Create, Edit, and Delete a Job Category Position.
C. Enter the Default Pay Rate
D. Assign the correct POS Role(s) to the new Job Position by selecting them from the Role drop-down menu
Before assigning a POS Role to a new Job Position, POS Roles must be created under the Users and Roles menu.
E. Enter the optional Default General Ledger identifier
Note: What is the Default General Ledger?
This optional field is used for detailed accounting. It allows you to associate all labor costs (hours and wages) earned under this Job Position with a specific General Ledger (GL) code for your financial reports.
You should only fill this in if your restaurant's accountant or bookkeeper uses specific GL codes for tracking labor. If you are unsure, it is safe to leave this field blank.
F. If the new Job Position requires access to a Cash Drawer, tick the box next to Cash Drawer Assignment Required
If the box is ticked, an employee who clocks in with a position with permission for a cash drawer will be required to assign themselves to a cash drawer before they are allowed to accept a cash transaction.
G. By default, all employees will not be clocked out automatically at the end of the business day. To automatically clock out employees after closing, slide the toggle to the left to turn off Skip Auto Clockout
H. To put a new employee's POS terminal into Training Mode to allow them to learn the system without affecting it, slide the toggle to the right to enable Training Mode
4. Click to save your new Job Position and return to the list of all positions in your organization
5. To Edit or Delete a current Job Position, in the list view, click the next to the desired position and click Edit or Delete
- Clicking Delete will bring up the following prompt to confirm your decision
- Clicking Edit will allow you to change the Name, Default Pay Rate, Role, and Cash Drawer Assignment before clicking
to save your Job Position changes
