The Work Centers page displays all active and deactivated Work Centers. This page is primarily used as edit, deactivate, or reactivate existing Work Centers. New Work Centers are typically created on the Jobs page, however they can be created on the this page as well.


Work centers are a high-level grouping of Jobs for reporting. Jobs that are not assigned to a Work Center will not appear on most Labor Charts and some Labor Reports. Typical Work Centers include Front of House, Back of House, Training, and Management.




Jobs are assigned to Work Centers on the Jobs page.
