It finds the manager on shift
The request goes to whoever is actually working, on their own device, with what is being asked and why — not to a shared inbox nobody reads.
Voids, refunds and comps
A void, a refund, a comp, a price override. On most systems that means finding a manager — or handing out a code that everybody ends up knowing, which is the same as having no control at all.

Whoever answers, it is on the record — who asked, who decided, and why.
What it does
The request goes to whoever is actually working, on their own device, with what is being asked and why — not to a shared inbox nobody reads.
From the office, the make line, or a watch. The point is that the queue at the counter does not wait for somebody to walk over.
What needs approval, from whom, above what amount, and whether a manager may approve their own — settings, not our opinion of how your shop should run.
Who asked, who approved, for how much, and why. The classic quiet losses — the no-sale drawer pop, the unexplained refund — stop being invisible.
If a rule is blocking a job that genuinely needs doing, the person can ask for it to be changed rather than working around it — and the ask goes up the chain in the app.
Why it matters
01
Every shop with a manager override code has a shift where somebody watched it being typed. Once it is shared it is not an approval, it is a formality.
02
Waiting for a manager is a minute of somebody’s shift and three people watching it happen. That is what makes staff want a workaround.
03
Most voids are legitimate. What you actually need is to be able to look back and see the pattern — which is the thing a shared code destroys.

Most shops run a POS, then pay again for scheduling, then again for the time clock, and none of the three ever speak.
