Staff security

NFC

NFC is the Android phone app that unlocks Manager and can clear floor NFC gates without clocking work hours. Pair once via Manager → Settings → Staff devices QR. Combine with Staff app access (Off / NFC / Roster) and optional Manager-only NFC when staff gate is Off. Break or clock-out at the station locks secured apps until NFC again. APK is provided at onboard.

What you can do

Concrete capabilities from the live Hubumo build — not a generic feature list.

  • Pair once — Staff devices QR (code rotates after each pair)
  • Idle contactless → Approved / Denied for managers & owners
  • Unlocks Manager without starting a work shift
  • Also fulfills waiting floor NFC gates (POS / Waiter / Kitchen / Door)
  • Staff app access: Off · NFC · Roster (Manager Settings)
  • Manager NFC unlock toggle — secure Manager even when Staff access is Off
  • Pairing optional or required for all floor tablets
  • Online count = paired phones/tablets with recent heartbeat
  • Work-hours station manager tap can unlock Manager too

How NFC works

Staff devices

Manager Settings → Staff devices shows the pair QR, code, online/paired counts, and the NFC install when your venue is onboarded. Pairing optional lets any browser open apps with PIN; Pairing required forces every POS / Waiter / Kitchen / Door / Manager tablet to scan the QR first.

NFC phone

Install the NFC APK provided at onboard, scan the Staff devices QR once. Leave the phone on the contactless idle screen. Tap a manager/owner NFC tag to unlock — Manager tablet polls and opens; armed floor NFC screens also pass.

Staff app access

Off = PIN + role only. NFC = first unlock shows NFC clock-in / phone unlock, then PIN; break at the station locks staff apps. Roster = same plus today’s schedule. Members are never gated.

Manager-only NFC

When Staff app access is Off, turn on Manager NFC unlock so only the Manager hub stays phone/station secured. Floor apps stay PIN-only. With Staff NFC/Roster on, Manager is always included.
