Restaurant details, then a second branch

Currency and languages once; then a branch with its own address, hours, tax and service charge.

2 min read

The restaurant is the thing with a name, a currency and languages. A branch is a place with an address, opening hours, tables, staff and a till. One restaurant, as many branches as you open.

The scenario

Downtown opens in a month. It charges a 10% service charge; the original doesn’t. Both show the menu in English, Arabic and Kurdish.

The restaurant, once

  1. 1Open Settings › Restaurant. Under Restaurant details: Name, Description, Currency (ISO), Timezone, and your Google review URL.
  2. 2Under Languages, tick the Available languages and set the Default language. Under Links, Add link for your Instagram, WhatsApp, directions or anything guests should reach — they show as icons under the languages on the welcome screen. There’s no tax here: tax, service charge and custom fees are set per branch, in Settings › Branches.

The new branch

  1. 1Open Settings › Branches and press Add branch. Name Downtown, Address, Phone, and drop the Map pin. Press Create branch — Added “Downtown”.
  2. 2Press Edit branch on its card: Opening hours per day (set Monday, then Apply Monday to all days — Applied — and mark Closed where it is), and under Charges its own Tax rate (%) and Service charge (%) 10. Your original branch keeps its service charge at 0 in its own Charges.

What you’ll see

  • A branch switcher at the top of the dashboard. Tables, staff, POS devices, shifts and reports are all per branch — switch before you set them up.
  • A Downtown check carries the 10% service charge as its own line; the original branch’s checks don’t.
  • The menu is shared — see a second branch with a shorter menu if Downtown serves less.
TipYour plan sets how many branches you can have. Check Settings › Billing before the lease is signed, not after.
