Note — general guidance only: Club operations, staffing structures and software features evolve. Confirm current ClubsHR capabilities before making changes to position names in your account.



Position names are more than just labels in your roster—they’re the glue between shifts, skills and staff. In ClubsHR, clear and consistent position naming makes rostering faster, reporting more accurate, and staff feel recognised for their expertise. Whether you’re running a small bar or a multi-venue club, smart naming keeps your whole team on the same page.



Why Position Names Matter

• Roster Clarity:
Clear titles mean managers and staff instantly know who does what—no guessing on shift handovers.

• Search & Filters:
Consistent naming helps you find the right person fast in ClubsHR’s skill tagging and roster views.

• Recognition & Growth:
Specific titles highlight specialisations—boosting pride and career development.

• Compliance & Reporting:
Accurate roles help maintain award coverage and ensure correct pay rates.

Naming Tips for Better Rosters

• Be Specific, Not Vague
Instead of “Bar Staff,” try Cocktail Bartender or Beer Tap Attendant if duties differ.

• Use Skill-Linked Titles
Match positions to the skill tags you’ve created (e.g., RSA Gaming Supervisor).

• Keep Formats Consistent
Decide on a style—either Duty Manager or Manager – Duty—and stick to it.

• Avoid Nicknames
Use professional titles for clarity in reports (e.g., “Floor Supervisor” not “Front of House Legend”).

• Group by Function
Prefix roles for large teams: Bar – Junior Bartender, Bar – Senior Bartender.

Examples of Position Naming That Works

  1. Bar – Cocktail Specialist – Makes it clear who can handle complex orders.
  2. Gaming – Duty Supervisor – Combines area and level of authority.
  3. Kitchen – Grill Chef – Points to both department and core skill.
  4. Events – Functions Coordinator – Identifies scope beyond general service.
  5. Service – Trainee Waitstaff – Signals role and development stage.
