How to add employees so they can check in customers and scan in-store.

Adding an employee

1

Employee downloads the app

The employee needs to have the Locl Tides mobile app installed on their phone. Download links are here.

2

Employee logs in with their phone number

Once the mobile app is installed, they sign in using their phone number. If it's their first time, their user account is created automatically based on the phone number they use to sign in.

We don't store any passwords, or any user data beyond the phone number for their login.

3

You scan their QR code

As the business owner or admin, open the Locl Tides app and navigate to your team management section. Have the employee pull up their QR code in the app, then scan it. They'll immediately receive a popup notification that they've been added to your business.

What employees can do

Once added, employees can open the Locl Tides app and scan customer QR codes to check them in and earn a punch for your punch card program. They don't need any additional setup, the business link they receive from the business admin gives them the right access automatically.

Learn how punch card check-ins work...

Employees only have access to the scanner, they can't modify your business profile or punch card settings. Those are owner/admin-only actions managed from Business Settings.
