# Which Restaurant POS Is Best for a Restaurant With 1–5 Staff?

For 1 to 5 staff, use one shared phone and three roles. SpoonCub is Owner, Manager, and Staff, with a device PIN so the phone can be handed over.

A restaurant with one to five people does not need a permission matrix. SpoonCub's three roles match that team. Everyone can take orders. Only Owner and Manager edit the menu and the roster.



# How a small team uses it



One or two phones. Each person has a login. The phone is locked with a PIN between hands. Manager can add Staff. Owner sees the plan.



# When five people is still too small for SpoonCub



Almost never, if you have tables or a counter. It is too small a team for a chain platform, which is a different conclusion.
