This guide walks you through logging in for the first time.

Step 2: Select Your Location
If your organization has multiple locations:

- Enter your 6-digit PIN
- Tap "Login"
Option B: Email Login

Step 4: Set Up Biometric Login (Optional)
After your first successful login:

Troubleshooting
"Invalid credentials" error
| Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|
| Wrong PIN | Double-check the PIN your manager gave you |
| Typo in email/ID | Re-enter carefully |
| Caps lock | Check case sensitivity for email |
| Account not set up | Ask your manager to verify your account |
"Account locked" message
Too many failed login attempts will lock your account for security. Wait 15 minutes before trying again, or ask your manager to unlock your account immediately.
- Wait 15 minutes, then try again
- OR ask your manager to unlock your account

Multiple Locations
If you work at multiple restaurants:
- After login, tap your profile icon
- Select "Switch Location"

Security Tips
Never share your PIN with coworkers. Your PIN is tied to your identity -- any transactions processed under your PIN are your responsibility, including voids, comps, and cash handling.
| Do | Don't |
|---|---|
| Keep your PIN private | Share your PIN with coworkers |
| Log out when leaving a shared device | Leave yourself logged in |
| Report suspicious activity | Ignore unauthorized access attempts |
