Changing Server Availability

This option allows hosting staff to place an employee as unavailable for a duration of time (such as breaks). An unavailable employee is not included in table assignments. Follow these steps to change a server to unavailable for 15 minutes:

1. Long-press on the Host Area, and then select Server Availability. The Edit Server Availability dialog appears. This list shows active employees who are assigned to tables in the revenue center.

   If you do not have the Edit Server Availability privilege, the application prompts you for authorization.

2. Select a server from the list.
3. Click the + and – buttons to change the length of time during which the server will be unavailable, and then click OK.

   After 15 minutes (or the amount of time you set) elapses, the application automatically changes the server to available for table assignments. To change an unavailable server to available before the time duration elapses, repeat Steps 1 through 3, clicking the Available button (rather than the + and – buttons).
