Prevent Employees from marking item as unavailble

Is there a way to only allow certain team members to mark items as unavailable? And/or also get notified when something is marked as unavailable as well as who 86'd that item

Hi @strikezonems. First, you’ll need to go into your dashboard and set up Team Permissions (Dashboard -> Team -> Permissions). I have two employee-level permission sets in my shop — one for Team Leaders (who are allowed to 86 items and modifiers) and the other for everyone else. To enable 86ing, just turn on Item permissions. Once set up, you can assign each employee to the appropriate role and everything will be good to go. Note that this does require a Square Team Plus subscription.

Secondly, there is no notification or log that is created or maintained as items are made available/unavailable. If having permissions locked down to the people you trust is not enough for you/your shop, I’d recommend that you submit a feature request here. Pick one Team (POS or Teams or whatever) to submit the request to. Don’t submit it more than once. And be sure to clearly make your case why you need more protection than what is already available via Team Permissions. Someone will review your request and let you know their decision.
