Sign in to the POS app with your staff PIN
Unlock the POS app tablet with your 4-digit staff code, and lock it again when you step away.
When staff login is on, the POS app asks for a 4-digit staff code before anyone can use it. Each person signs in with their own code, so orders and actions are linked to them.
Staff login is a setting. Turn on Use staff login in POS system and create the codes first. See Create staff PIN codes in the Settings section.
Sign in
Open the login screen
The screen says Enter login code. Your company logo is shown above it.
Type your code
Tap your 4 digits on the number pad. Each digit shows as a star.
Wait for the check
After the fourth digit the app signs you in by itself. There is no confirm button.
If the code is wrong, the screen says Code not correct and clears the digits. Try again.
Use Clear to remove all digits, or the backspace key to remove the last one.
If you were just given a new code and it doesn't work, the app asks the server for the latest staff list before it rejects the code.
Lock the app
You can lock the app so the next person has to enter their own code. There are several ways:
- On the Dashboard, tap your initials in the top right. A lock countdown starts.
- On the Dashboard, open the round menu button at the bottom right and tap Lock.
- In the side menu, tap Lock. It shows the name of the person signed in.
The countdown screen says Auto lock in and counts down from 10. Tap Lock to lock at once, or Cancel to stay signed in.
The app also starts this countdown by itself after you save an order, finish a checkout or delete an order. If you do nothing, it locks after 10 seconds.
If staff login is switched off in Dineout Partner, tapping Lock only shows a message: "Staff login is disabled. Please enable this feature in Dineout Partner and refetch settings". Tap Refetch Settings to load the latest settings.
What your role allows
Your role decides what you can do after signing in.
- Staff can't change prices, can't delete a line that has already been printed, can't delete an order, and can't open Settlement from the side menu. Their discounts are limited to the maximum set on their staff user.
- Manager and Owner can do all of these.
To change a person's code, role or discount limit, see Create staff PIN codes in the Settings section.
