Job categories are any user-defined grouping, such as service, operational, or management. When job categories are selected in the Scheduling application, managers can select a job within the category to schedule employees.
Job categories are established and linked to jobs. They are used to categorize the different jobs in a restaurant. Job categories let managers create schedules and report on certain areas of the restaurant. For example, servers, bartenders, and hosts might fall in the Front of House job category. A manager can then schedule the Front of House separate from the Kitchen.
By selecting a job category in the Scheduling application, only the jobs that belong to the selected category appear in the Job field. Managers can then schedule all employees in the selected job category or they can narrow the selection by selecting a job and schedule employees within the job.
