Best Practices for MLM Employee Permissions
Here are some best practices for managing employee permissions at a Toast Multilocation Management (MLM) restaurant group:
Work with the super user at your restaurant group to edit and troubleshoot employee permissions. A super user is an employee that has access to all Toast Web permissions for the entire corporation, which allows them to make changes to any employee’s permissions for any location in the group.
Ensure that each employee has the correct permissions at every location they need access to.
Sometimes, employees are assigned to different jobs at different locations, which may impact which data and settings that they can view and adjust. Examples of this include viewing labor cost data, or editing settings like pricing or menu copying.
When making changes to employee permissions, log out of Toast Web and log back in to allow the changes to go into effect. If you’re still having issues, make sure you’re using Google Chrome and clearing your cache regularly.
See below for suggested solutions to common permissions issues.
Employees Unable to Access or Edit Profiles in an MLM Group
Employees with access to multiple locations might have different permission sets at each location, which would limit their access.
A manager with access to all relevant locations can update these profiles to make sure the employee has the correct permissions at all locations.
Admin Permissions Not Applying Across All Locations in an MLM Group
If your admin permissions don't work at all locations, another administrator must update your profile permissions. Log out and back in to confirm the changes. This process ensures permissions synchronize properly across all locations.
Invalid or Conflicting POS Access Codes for MLM Users
You can update or validate POS access codes in Toast Web (Find or Edit an Employee’s POS Access Code).
If an employee has multiple Toast Web profiles for different locations, they might be encountering an issue because they’re using the POS access code for the wrong profile. Ensure any duplicate Toast Web profiles are archived and that a single active profile with synced permissions is linked to all locations (Consolidate Toast Web Login Credentials).
