POS Shift Management for branch-based teams

POS Shift Management for branch-based teams
Create branch-based shifts, set open/close times, and assign members so everyone knows when and where they’re working. Note: cash drawer open/close is handled separately in Shift Register / Cash Management.
HOW IT WORKS
Create Shift → Assign Members → Stay in sync with operations
Shifts are for staffing schedules. They help you assign members and keep branch coverage organized. Shift Register remains the cash-drawer open/close process.
SHIFT MANAGEMENT
Plan working shifts by branch—keep teams aligned
After you add a counter, create shifts for that branch (Morning/Evening/Weekend), assign members, and keep schedules visible. Note: cash drawer open/close is handled separately in Shift Register.
Create branch shifts with open/close times
Shifts are tied to a branch
Name the shift, select the branch, and set the timings. This becomes the work schedule used to assign members and plan coverage.
Templates
Morning / Evening / Weekend
Create reusable shift templates so you don’t set times again and again—apply per branch and tweak anytime.
Assignments
Assign members to shifts
Once shifts exist for a branch, members can be added and assigned—so everyone knows when and where they work.
Different module
Shift Register is separate
This page is for staffing schedules. Cash drawer open/close and cash session tracking lives under Shift Register / Cash Management.
“Counter → Shift → Member assignment”
“Add a counter, define branch shifts, then assign members—so operations and register sessions follow the right timings.”
— iSmartSync POS workflow
Build the right flow: Counter → Shift → Member assignment
Once a counter exists, define branch shifts and timings so members can be assigned properly. This keeps staffing aligned with operations, while cash drawer sessions remain in Shift Register.
