Password Manager Card Configuration Guide | Business Software Solutions

Jul 11, 2013

BPA includes much flexibility for setting up manager/employee passwords in the system. BPA includes three levels of manager groups that allow you to give different levels of access to different managers/employees. This guide will walk you through setting up manager/employee passwords in BPA Restaurant Professional and Delivery Professional. Manager swipe cards may also be used in place of passwords. The password setup is done in the Business System portion of the software.

  1. 1) From the main menu select Business System.
  2. 2) Select Definitions on the right hand side.

Activate Module Passwords

In Activate Module Passwords you may choose the areas of the software that you would like password protected. For the restaurant software you will want to check the option Restaurant Manager Password. Selecting this option will allow you to secure areas and functions in the restaurant system as well as password protect the Business System. You may choose to select any other modules that you would like password protected separately.

Manager Password Groups

The restaurant software allows you to set up 3 different levels of manager groups. These manager groups can have different levels of access. You may assign as many employees as you choose to each manager group, which will be discussed later in this guide. By default, manager group 1 has access to everything in the restaurant system (this can be changed). To allow a manager group to have access to the specific group of functions, place a “Y” in the appropriate row. For example, if you would like manager group 2 to only have access to remove or comp items place a “Y” next to Modify Sales Items.

Assign Passwords To Users

Here you may assign passwords to each employee or manager. Simply select Assign Passwords To Users, enter the employee number and press enter. Enter the new password and verify it. If you are using manager cards, swipe the card into the new password field. Swipe it again in the Verify Password field.

If you need to change the password that is currently assigned to an employee, enter the current password. If you do not know the employees password you may enter the master password in the Current Password field to override the current password.

Misc. Definitions

Once you have set all the password options in the Business System, you will want to take some time to review the specific functions that can be password protected in the Restaurant System. From the main menu, go to Restaurant System > Manager Functions > Misc Definitions. Select the Passwords tab on the left side. Check the box next to any specific options you would like password protected.
