TouchBistro: Settings
Updated over a month ago

You can adjust the settings of a location using TouchBistro as the POS.

Editing location settings is only possible with the user role Edit location settings. If your user role does not include this, contact an Administrator user in your account and ask them to provide you access. Learn how to change user roles.

Follow the steps in this article to access the settings page of your POS. Some settings in this article can also be changed for individual channels.
