# Shops

> The Shops screen of the RAY admin portal lists the organization's shops (for example restaurants or cafés that take orders in the app) and lets an admin add, activate and deactivate them. Each shop's menu and orders are run from the shop's own menu by its operators. Found under Community → Shops.

## Summary

The **Shops** screen in the RAY admin portal lists the organization's shops, such as a restaurant, café
or minimarket where users order through the app. Admins add shops and switch them on or off here. The
shop's menu, information and orders are managed by the shop's staff from the shop's own menu in the
portal; see [Shop menu and orders](/community/shop-menu-and-orders).

## Where to find Shops

* Menu: **Community → Shops** (Arabic: **المجتمع ← المتاجر**)

## Who can access Shops

The Shops screen is shown only to users with an **Admin** role that includes the shops feature.

## Shops list columns

The shop's image, **Name**, and **Status** (**Activated** or **Deactivated**; click it to **Activate** or
**Deactivate** the shop).

## How to add a shop

1. Open **Community → Shops** and click **Add**.
2. Enter the **Name**.
3. Click **Save**.

The shop's details, menu and opening hours are then filled in from the shop's own menu (**Menu &
Info**). To let staff run the shop, give them an Operator role that includes the shop's feature; see
[Roles & Permissions](/administration/roles-and-permissions).
