Set up the handful of things everything else in Orbit hangs off.

Home gathers what is happening today across every store you run. It looks sparse right now and it should — it fills in as you add stores, people and rosters.

This is your business at a glance
Home gathers what is happening today across every store you run. It looks sparse right now and it should — it fills in as you add stores, people and rosters.

Add your first store
A store is what everything else hangs off — rosters, hours, pay and reports all belong to one. Add the first one now; you can add the rest whenever you like.

Add someone to your team
You can add a person outright or stage them by email and invite them later. Nothing is sent to anybody until you choose to send it.

Where settings live
Business settings cover everyone — how Orbit behaves, who can do what, what it connects to. Store settings cover one place — its hours, its pay setup, its colour.

Learn is always here
Every guide lives in Learn, and you can stop one halfway and pick it up later. Nothing here ever interrupts you.
