Department Management

Departments help you organize employees (e.g. Kitchen, Front of house, Sales). You create departments, assign employees to them, and use them to filter lists and group the schedule. This section explains how to set up and use departments.

Key Concepts​

Department – A group or area within your organization (e.g. Kitchen, Sales). Each has a name and optional description. Employees are assigned to one department or none.

Active vs inactive – Only active departments appear in lists, filters, and when assigning employees. Deleting a department deactivates it (removes it from the list); it is not permanently erased.

Filtering & grouping – Use departments to filter employees, time logs, and printed schedules, and to group the shift calendar by team.
