Run every shop and your whole team from one account
OutDeck runs one shop or a whole chain from one account, with three roles: Business Admin (owner), Shop Manager and Shop Staff. Add each outlet with its own time zone, up to your plan's shop limit. Managers and staff see only the shops you give them, while the Business Admin sees every shop and handles billing. Share playlists and media with every shop, or keep them for one.

What you can do
-
Every outlet in one account
Add shops yourself, up to the number your plan includes. Each shop has its own screens, schedules and time zone, with Malaysia time by default.
-
Three simple roles
The Business Admin (owner) sees everything. Shop Managers and Shop Staff see only the shops you give them.
-
Invites, not shared passwords
Send someone an invite and a new team member sets their own password. Invite links last 7 days, and you can resend or revoke them.
-
Shared or shop-only content
Upload a brand video once for every shop, or keep a price list or notice for one outlet only.
-
One person, several shops
Give a Shop Manager or staff member more than one shop, such as one Shop Manager who looks after three outlets.
-
Trash and Restore
Deleted media, playlists, schedules, screen groups and team members go to the Trash first, so you can bring them back.
How do I add a new outlet to my OutDeck account?
The Business Admin (owner) adds it on the Organization page by giving it a name and a time zone, up to the number of shops your plan includes. New shops start on Malaysia time, and every schedule and display hour in a shop follows that shop's own clock.
When you need more shops than your plan allows, upgrade from the Billing page. On a paid plan, an upgrade partway through your billing period costs only the difference for the time left, plus any later period you already paid for, and your renewal date stays the same. Running more than 10 shops? Email hello@outdeck.app for a custom plan.
Who can do what in a shop team?
Each person has one of three roles in your business, and each role can only invite or remove the roles below it.
| Role | Sees | Can do |
|---|---|---|
| Business Admin (owner) | Every shop in the business | Add and delete shops, manage content, screens and schedules, invite or remove Shop Managers and staff, handle billing |
| Shop Manager | Only the shops you give them | Manage content, screens and schedules in those shops, invite or remove Shop Staff |
| Shop Staff | Only the shops you give them | Manage content, screens and schedules in those shops |
How do I invite a new team member?
On the Organization page, enter their email address, pick a role and, for a Shop Manager or Shop Staff, tick the shops they look after. Then send them the invite. A new team member sets their own name and password from the invite link, so nobody shares a login.
An invite link lasts 7 days. Until someone accepts it or you revoke it, the invite stays in your pending list, where you can resend it with a fresh link.
How do I keep some content for one outlet and share the rest?
When the Business Admin uploads media or creates a playlist, they choose Shared, for every shop, or a single shop. Shared suits brand videos and promotions that run everywhere. Shop-only suits each outlet's own prices, opening hours or notices.
Shop Managers and staff see the shared content plus the content of their own shops, and anything they upload belongs to one of their shops. Each schedule belongs to one shop, so to play a shared playlist in every outlet, assign it to each screen or add a schedule for it in each shop. Edit the shared playlist once to change it in every shop.
What if I work for more than one business?
If you have been added to more than one business, a workspace switcher appears in the dashboard header, so you can move between them with one login. Each business keeps its own shops, team and content.
The Business Admin can give a workspace a friendly display name on the Workspaces page, which makes it easier to tell them apart.
Can I get back something a team member deleted?
Yes, for most things. Deleted media, playlists, schedules, screen groups and team members go to the Trash first. Open the Trash on that list and press Restore. Only Delete forever, inside the Trash, removes an item for good.
Deleting a whole shop is different. It asks for your password first, and to bring a deleted shop back you need to email us. Removing a screen also asks for your password, and to bring it back you pair the TV again.
Can your team import my shops and staff from a spreadsheet?
Yes. If you are moving many outlets over, email hello@outdeck.app. Our team can import your shops and staff from a spreadsheet for you, so you do not have to add them one by one.
Common questions
Can Shop Staff see other shops in the account?
No. Shop Managers and Shop Staff see only the shops you give them, plus any content shared across the business. Billing pages are for the Business Admin (owner) only.
Can one Shop Manager look after several outlets?
Yes. When you invite a Shop Manager or Shop Staff, tick every shop they look after, and they work on all of those shops from one login. A Shop Manager can also invite Shop Staff for their own shops.
How long does a team invite link last?
An invite link lasts 7 days. Until it is accepted you can resend the invite, which gives a fresh link, or revoke it.
Can a Shop Manager remove a member of staff?
Yes, for Shop Staff in their own shops. Only the Business Admin (owner) can remove a Shop Manager. A removed team member goes to the Trash on the Team list, where they can be restored.
