Settings and activity

Settings is the last link in the menu. It holds what you set up once; what you switch on is in Modules. The log of changes is the "Activity" card.

Open a section

The Settings page is an index of cards in five groups: "Business", "Orders and payments", "Devices and messages", "Connections" and "Account". Click a card to open that section on its own page. Each section says what saving it changes and, after "Used by:", links to the pages that read it. When you change something, a bar with "Unsaved changes" appears at the foot of the page: "Save" keeps the changes of that section only, so a mistake in one never blocks another, and "Discard" puts the fields back. A few switches, such as the manager PIN, save with a button of their own.

What each section holds

• "General": restaurant name, tagline, currency, country, languages and timezone, the tax number and legal name printed on bills, "We take cash only" and the "Manager PIN".
• "Hours and closures": when each branch is open, and the days you are shut. See Hours and closures.
• "Ordering": the ways to order, delivery with its fee, the minimum order for each, and how far ahead a guest may order. See Ordering rules.
• "Pay at the table", "Online payments" and "Payment keys": how you get paid. See Payment setup.
• "Thermal printers", "Screen links" and "Messages and alerts": your ticket printers, the links for kitchen screens and the kiosk, and guest messages with your phone alerts. See Printers, screens and the kiosk and Messages and alerts.
• "Logo and cover": your logo and the photo behind your name on the guest page.
• "Reporting day": when your business day starts, for example 04:00 if you serve past midnight.
• Connections: "Integrations", "Installed apps" and "API and webhooks". "Bring your data" sits with the business cards.
• Account: "Plan and billing", "Data and security", "AI allowance" and "Activity". See Data and security.
• The booking rules (slot length, notice, largest party and deposits) are on the "Services and tables" tab of Reservations, tables on Floor & QR and the team on Team.
• "Danger zone": "Close this restaurant". Only the owner sees it; the page lists what closing does, and you must type the restaurant name to confirm. Orders and records are kept.

Read the activity log

Under "Activity" you see who changed what, newest first, in the columns "When", "Action", "Person" and "What changed". Narrow the list with the "Action" and "Person" filters and the date chip, which offers ready ranges such as the last 7 days or your own dates. Changes made by BookNDish support on your account appear here too, so you can always tell who touched a setting.
