Use the Staff Level function to switch to different routing rulebooks on the fly in the kitchen, when you use multiple routing rulebooks. You must create a staff level for each routing rulebook you created. To implement, you must create a staff level, attach a default staff level to your kitchen settings, and add a 'Set Staff Level' command button to a kitchen screen.

To configure staff levels: Create a staff level for each routing rulebook you use. You must attach a routing rulebook to a staff level for it to appear for selection on the Set Staff Level screen.

• With Kitchen selected in the product panel, select Maintenance > Kitchen Configuration > Staff Level.
  
• Click New.
• Type a name for the staff level.
• Select the routing rulebook to use for this staff level from the 'Routing rulebook' drop-down list.
• Click Save.
• Repeat this procedure for other staff levels you want to create.
• Click Close and exit the Staff Level function.

To assign a default staff level in kitchen settings: You must attach a default staff in kitchen settings. This staff level is in use at all times for the whole store until you select another.

• Under the 'Defaults' group bar, select the staff level from the 'Default staff level' drop-down list.
• Click Save.
