Set up your first workspace in 5 minutes
A workspace is your business inside Arthur. This guide covers creating one, inviting your team, and adding what you sell, so you can start working the same day. It works the same whether you run a restaurant, a shop, or anything in between.
1. Create the workspace
- Sign in, then on the home screen tap Create workspace.
- Give it a name (your business name) and pick the type that fits you.
- Tap Create. You're now the owner, with full access.
2. Invite your team and set roles
- Go to Team and tap Invite to get a join code.
- Share the code with your people. They enter it to join, no email needed.
- Give each person a role. Roles decide what someone can see and do, so the right people get the right access, and nothing more.
Why roles matter: an owner sees everything, while a team member only sees the parts their role allows. You set it once and Arthur handles the rest.
3. Add what you sell
Go to Items and build your list in two levels:
- Categories to group things (for a restaurant that's Food and Drinks, for a shop it's your product groups).
- Items inside each category, each with a name and a price.
Tip: you don't need everything to start. Add a handful of items, open up, and fill in the rest later.
4. Start working
When a shift starts, staff clock in. Now they can take orders on their own phone, and Arthur tracks every sale and stock change as it happens.
No extra hardware? Arthur still tracks everything from your team's phones. Sending work to a screen or printer is an optional upgrade, never a requirement.
