Job Position Categories are essential for organizing the various roles within your restaurant. By creating categories, you can group similar job positions (e.g., "Front of House," "Back of House," "Management"), which streamlines user management and simplifies high-level reporting in the Bridge.
This feature allows you to:
- Create custom categories to match your restaurant's specific organizational structure, such as "Bar Staff" or "Kitchen Management."
- Organize all your individual Job Positions into logical groups, making them easier to manage and report on.
Note: To create or edit Job Position Categories, you must have the "Manage Job Position Categories" permission enabled in your assigned Bridge Role.
