Configure the restaurant

What this feature is for

The restaurant settings are where you keep your establishment's core configuration current: general information, opening hours, seasonal rules, and holidays. These settings feed every other module, so an accurate configuration keeps bookings, the floor plan, and the POS aligned with reality.

Who can use it

Only Owners and Admins can edit restaurant configuration. Other roles may see settings that affect their work but cannot change them.

Availability and required module/permission

Restaurant configuration is part of the core platform and needs no purchasable module. Editing general information requires the general-information permission; editing opening hours, seasonal rules, and holidays requires the openings permission.

Prerequisites

None. Restaurant configuration is available as soon as your account has a restaurant, but prepayment and deposit settings are Owner-only and appear only where the relevant module is active.

Common tasks

Edit general information: update the name, contact details, address, and default currency.
Set opening hours: define the regular weekly service hours.
Add a seasonal rule: override the regular hours for a defined date range.
Add a holiday: mark a day as closed so no service is offered.

Screen and field reference

The General tab holds identity and contact fields. The Openings tab holds the weekly grid, the seasonal rules list, and the holidays list. Prepayment and deposit fields are visible to Owners only.

Warnings and important constraints

Changing opening hours or adding a holiday affects availability immediately across bookings and the floor plan. Prepayment settings can be edited by the Owner only; Admins cannot change them.

Troubleshooting guidance

If a change to hours does not appear in bookings, confirm you saved the tab and that a seasonal rule or holiday is not overriding the regular hours for that date.
