Your organisation's structure decides how teams, schedules and reports are grouped in Inside.

Key ideas

  • Cost centres link labour costs to your accounting structure.

Steps

  1. Open Organisation Admin and go to Departments & Outlets.
  2. Review the existing structure.
  3. Add or edit a department or outlet and enter its details.
  4. Link the relevant cost centre if your organisation uses them.
  5. Save, then check the item appears in the list.

What happens next

Set up each outlet's hours, roster mode and shift codes in Outlet Manager. See Set an outlet's profile and opening hours.
