Sitora Biz for owners
Sitora Biz is the owner’s app. It answers the questions an owner actually has — how is the business doing, which branch needs attention, who has access to what, and what is this costing — rather than being a larger version of the staff app.
An owner who wants to work a shift uses Sitora Pro. That is a different job, so it is a different app.
Five sections
Section titled “Five sections”
| Section | What it answers |
|---|---|
| Home | How is the business right now, and what needs me |
| Money | What came in, in what currency, and what is unsettled |
| Branches | How is each branch, and what needs setting up |
| People | Who works where, in what role, doing what |
| Control | What decisions are waiting for me, and what happened |
Above them sits your restaurant name — tap it to switch, if you control more than one — plus alerts, the assistant, and your account.
Rules that shape every screen
Section titled “Rules that shape every screen”Consequential actions are approvals, not toggles. Pausing a branch, suspending someone’s access, archiving a branch — each states its consequence, asks for a reason, and asks you to hold rather than tap.
You never edit history. Audit streams are readable and permanent. If something was wrong, the correction is a new record. This protects you as much as anyone: a record that can be edited is a record nobody can rely on in a dispute.
Limits are explained, not just enforced. When your plan blocks something, the app tells you what the limit is, where you are against it, and what would unblock it.
You request; Sitora executes. Plan changes go to Sitora’s billing queue. You cannot silently move yourself between plans, and neither can anyone else move you.
Currencies are never silently added together. If your branches take different currencies, totals are shown separately rather than summed into a misleading number.
What Biz deliberately is not
Section titled “What Biz deliberately is not”- Not an operational workspace. No taking orders, no confirming payments, no cooking queue. Use Sitora Pro.
- Not a reporting tool. Reports answer specific owner questions; they are not a general query surface.
- Not a payroll system. Staff activity and earnings are estimates derived from operational records.
If you do not have a restaurant yet
Section titled “If you do not have a restaurant yet”Biz shows you the onboarding request form instead of the owner workspace. See Getting set up.
If you lose access
Section titled “If you lose access”If your owner access is removed, Biz says so plainly rather than showing an empty workspace. That is a change someone made deliberately — usually a restaurant ownership change.
