StaffHub licensing requirements
What are the licensing requirements for StaffHub?
Does it require a full E3 license (our current licensing level)?
This product is designed for deskless workers. This would be a great tool for our retail workers, but those workers do not have AD accounts or any license to O365.
Is there a model to allow them to use StaffHub?
Here is the QA for staff hub from here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/blog/2017/01/12/microsoft-staffhub-is-here/ it's an older article but F1 license is the same as K1 which will be your minimum license you will need for the (Kiosk/deskless) works.
Q. Which Office 365 plans include Microsoft StaffHub?
A. StaffHub is available as part of the Office 365 K1, E1, E3 and E5 plans (including the Education version of these plans).

The article that you have pointed to does not say that each user needs a license. It states that each user needs an Office 365 or Azure AD account - These are free within Azure AD. So simply by having a few K1, E1 or E3 plans you could start using StaffHub across your frontline workers.
A F1 license is required - which is a shame.
yup, F1 is for FrontLine workers like Retail Colleagues. We have 75,000 of them here.
Also consider that StaffHub is going to be absorbed into Teams over the next year or so. A little like how there is a version of Teams optimised for schools with unique features, there will be Frontline worker specific features coming for Teams.
- Does your company find good ROI from the F1 investment? I'm new to the retail world and looking for use cases and stories from the field to see how to drive this type of adoption.
