## Summary
Protect restaurant devices and staff access so daily operations stay secure even during busy service and shift changes.

## Before you begin
- Know which devices are shared and which are individually assigned
- Make sure each staff member understands basic access rules
- Review which roles should have elevated permissions
- Never treat a working device as a trusted device forever

## Steps
1. Make sure each user signs in with the correct account or access path.
2. Do not share high-level credentials across the team.
3. Review role-based access regularly and remove unnecessary permissions.
4. Keep restaurant devices physically controlled during and after shifts.
5. Lock or secure devices when they are unattended.
6. Make sure old staff access is removed promptly when roles change.
7. Recheck access after major staffing changes, new locations, or device replacements.

## Troubleshooting
- **Too many people use the same account:** Split access by real role and ownership.
- **Managers leave devices signed in for convenience:** Treat shared devices as operational risk points, not permanent trusted endpoints.
- **Permissions drift over time:** Review account access after promotions, resignations, and location changes.
- **Staff assumes Google-backed login means no internal discipline is needed:** Managed auth reduces risk, but access hygiene is still your responsibility.
