Departments
Create and manage departments to organise your team members into groups such as kitchen, front-of-house, or logistics.
Updated 30 May 2026
Table of contents
Departments let you group staff into named teams (for example, Kitchen, Front of House, or Logistics) so you can filter activity and assign records by department. You’ll find this section under Settings → Departments.
Adding a department
- Go to Settings → Departments and click New Department.
- Enter a Name for the department.
- Click Add department.
Your subscription may cap the total number of departments. When the limit is reached, the New Department button shows a Max Reached badge instead.
Editing a department
Click the edit button (pencil icon) on the department row in the table. Update the Name field and click Save.
Searching departments
When you have more than five departments, a Search by name field appears above the table to filter the list.
Assigning users to departments
Departments are assigned to individual users. When adding or editing a team member, select one or more departments in the Department(s) field. See the User Management article for the full user-creation workflow.
