Settings

Settings holds the cross-cutting configuration — how numbers, dates and money are formatted, how inventory behaves, what the interface calls things, and the per-area preferences for corrections, reservations, terminals and the POS.

Settings are global to the install. Venue-specific values (hours, tax rate, currency, service charge) live on the location instead.

The Settings screen with its tab strip — Numbers, Date, Currency, Images, Weight, Inventory, Notifications, PWA, Storefront, Corrections, Reservations, Terminals, POS, Terminology and Demo Mode

Numbers

How quantities are formatted throughout the interface.

Setting	Effect
Decimal places (quantities)	Precision for stock quantities and recipe amounts
Decimal separator	`.` or `,`
Thousands separator	Grouping character

Recipe quantities are the reason this is configurable: a kitchen working in grams wants no decimals, one working in kilograms wants three.

Date

Setting	Effect
Date format	How dates render across the admin, receipts and emails
Timezone	The default timezone; locations can carry their own

Currency

Setting	Effect
Currency	The default currency and its symbol
Currency position	Symbol before or after the amount
Currency decimal places	Usually 2; 0 for currencies without minor units
Default tax rate	The default applied to new locations
Service charge	The default percentage added to checks

The format is global; the currency in use is per location, so a two-country install charges in each venue's own currency while formatting consistently.

Images

Setting	Effect
Upload path	Where uploaded menu and gallery images are stored
Size and dimension limits	Bounds applied to uploads

Menu photography is the biggest lever on how the storefront looks, so it's worth allowing enough resolution that cropped images stay sharp on a large screen.

Weight

The default unit system for stock items and recipes. Set it before you build your stock list — changing it later does not convert existing quantities.

Inventory

Setting	Effect
Which channels deplete stock	By default every channel does
Low-stock behaviour	Whether alerts are raised against par levels
Auto-86	Whether items are pulled from sale when a recipe ingredient hits zero

Depleting on every channel is the default for a reason — stock that only depletes on some channels looks authoritative while being wrong.

Notifications

Which events send email, and who receives the low-stock digest. See Notifications.

PWA

The admin and the staff terminals are progressive web apps. This tab controls the installable app's name, icons and behaviour, so a terminal added to a tablet's home screen looks like the tool it is.

Storefront

Presentation settings for the public pages — layout choices for the menu showcase, gallery behaviour and theme options. See Storefront.

Corrections

Setting	Effect
Corrections enabled	The master switch for the whole feature
Guest self-cancel	Whether QR guests may cancel their own order
Self-cancel window	How long after ordering a guest may cancel
PIN-gated types	Which correction types require a manager PIN
Reasons	The fixed list offered in the reason selector

Setting up a short fixed list of reasons is worth the five minutes: free text produces an audit log nobody can aggregate. See Order Corrections.

Reservations

Booking behaviour — slot granularity, how far ahead guests may book, how long a table is held, and which statuses send notifications. See Reservations.

Terminals

Defaults for staff terminals — session behaviour, PIN policy and throttling. Per-device restriction lives on the terminal record itself. See Terminals.

POS

Point-of-sale preferences — tile display, light or dark tiles, and which actions require the manager PIN. See Point of Sale.

Terminology

Rename anything the interface calls something you don't. Call a check a bill, a server a waiter, a location a branch.

The overrides are stored as settings and merged into the interface strings at runtime, so they survive updates — no language files are edited and nothing is lost when the component is upgraded.

This is worth doing early. Staff learn the vocabulary the screens use, and changing it after three months of training is more disruptive than changing it on day one.

Demo Mode

A seeded, read-only tour of the whole product. See Demo Mode.
