Your team: register PINs, roles and the time clock

Add staff, give them register PINs, choose what they may do, and clock in and out.

Add a team member

  1. In the owner dashboard, open Team and press Add team member.
  2. Enter their name and their jobs (Cashier, Server, Kitchen, Driver, Manager, Host, Bartender). Jobs are labels for your schedule; they do not grant anything.
  3. Choose their access — what they may do: Owner, Manager, Register & kitchen staff or Delivery driver. Only an owner can make someone a manager.
  4. Choose how they join: Add now — register PIN only (you set a 4–6 digit PIN, shown once), or Invite by email (a one-time link that lasts 72 hours).

A person appears on the register only once they have a register PIN. Use Set PIN or Reset PIN on their row; DineStack never shows a PIN again after it is set.

What managers can do that staff cannot

  • Voids, discounts and comps — staff can still do them with a manager’s approval. The register asks a manager to enter their PIN and a reason, for that one action only.
  • Close the day, review drawers, see reports and refunds in the owner dashboard.
  • Managers can manage staff and drivers. Adding devices and making someone a manager is for owners.

The time clock

  1. On the register’s sign-in screen, tap Staff clock — clock in or out.
  2. Tap your name and enter your PIN.
  3. Tap Clock in, Start break, End break or Clock out. Only the buttons that make sense right now appear.

Clocking works with no internet; it reaches DineStack when the connection is back. Managers correct a punch in Workforce → Time clock with a reason, and the original punch stays on the record.

When someone leaves

Open their row in Team to suspend them or mark them as left. Their history stays; their PIN stops working.
