Settings

The Settings sidebar section groups operational configuration: shortcuts, units, payments, loyalty, messaging, hardware, and layout tools.

Quick Actions

Menu path: Quick Actions

Configure shortcut actions available on POS or admin (favorites, fast navigation—depends on setup). Name and order actions so busy shifts stay efficient.

Quantity Units

Menu path: Quantity Units

Define units (each, kg, box) used when selling or stocking items. Items and recipes reference these units; keep names short and consistent.

Payment Methods

Menu path: Payment Methods

Enable and label payment types (cash, card, wallet, house account). Order and visibility affect checkout buttons on POS and sometimes reports grouping.

Loyalty Settings

Menu path: Loyalty Settings

Turn loyalty on/off, set earn and burn rules, and thresholds. Changes can affect existing member balances—coordinate with marketing before major rule changes.

SMS Event Settings

Menu path: SMS Event Settings

Choose which events trigger SMS (order ready, marketing, birthday—per checkboxes). Ensure templates and compliance (opt-in) match your region’s rules.

Cloud Printing

Menu path: Cloud Printing

Link printers or print services in the cloud so tickets print at the right station. Follow pairing or API key steps on the page; test with a small test print.

Terminals

Menu path: Terminals

Register card terminals or POS devices to locations. Required for integrated payments; use device IDs exactly as the hardware vendor provides.

Tags

Menu path: Tags

General-purpose tags (not the same as Item Tags under Master Data—compare sidebar labels). Often used for customers, orders, or internal classification depending on your configuration.

Same topic — full steps & every field: Tags — steps & every field.

Table Planner

Menu path: Table Planner

See Table Reservation Management — physical table layout editor for reservations.

Tips

  • After changing payment or terminal settings, run a small live transaction on a quiet period.
  • SMS and loyalty changes should be announced to staff so they explain new behavior to guests.
