> Set up Nimki staff responsibilities, invitations, approved personal or shared devices, PIN access and dedicated restaurant workspaces.

## The right tools for every person.

A small team may share the work. A larger team may share the order. Give each person access that fits the tasks they actually handle.

### Choose responsibilities.

Set up ordering, billing, preparation, service support, stock or reports access.

### Combine work when it makes sense.

Support people who take an order and handle another permitted part of service.

### Know the device.

Review staff device requests and approve the devices used for work.

## Start with the work, then invite the person.

Staff setup describes responsibilities in the context of your service. A counter order taker and a floor team member may share ordering responsibilities while using different starting views.

## One person can wear more than one hat.

Combined responsibilities support teams where the same person takes orders, prepares a counter sale or handles billing. Separate kitchen and cashier workspaces remain useful when different people own those tasks.

- Ordering and floor service
- Preparation and billing
- Manager, Accountant and Stock responsibilities

## Bring devices into the picture.

Staff can register a personal or shared work device. Approval, pending and revoked states make device access part of setup, with owner and permitted Manager support actions.

## Switch people with care.

PIN unlock, staff switching, lock and recovery support daily access. The tools a person sees follow their current permitted access; a shortcut or workspace label does not grant extra authority.

## Questions & answers

### Can the owner also work at the counter?

Yes. Service setup includes an owner register choice, so the owner account can also serve at the counter.

### Can new staff activate without an email?

The current invitation activation journey uses email. Owner credential reset for an active member is separate from initial email-free activation.
