What is a Vendor Role?
A Vendor Role is a set of permissions configured and applied to each Vendor (Ex: Concessions, Bar, Time Clock, KDS, etc.).

On the main Vendor Roles page, there are three toggles available for quick edits:
- Promo Enabled: Promotion codes can be enabled or disabled.
- Alcohol Enabled: Alcohol can be enabled or disabled.
- Open: Any vendor assigned to this role can be opened or closed.
