Settings

Overview

The Settings area is where you configure everything that isn't day-to-day operations: your business identity, branches, taxes, devices, integrations, your team, and your subscription. It's deliberately the last item in the sidebar because you set most of this up once during onboarding and only revisit it occasionally.

What's in Settings

The exact list depends on your plan and your role, but Settings generally includes:

Business

• Business Profile: store name, default currency, languages, business hours, branding.
• Brands: for chains running multiple brands under one account.
• Branches: physical locations. Per-branch contact details, address, timezone, opening hours, and online-ordering availability.

Catalog & operations

• Tax Configuration: tax rates and which items they apply to.
• Service Charges / Tips: defaults and rules for added charges.
• Order Types: enable/disable Dine-In, Takeaway, Delivery, Phone, etc., per branch.
• Kitchen Stations: define which printer / KDS handles which categories.
• Item Availability rules: recurring schedules for items that aren't always on sale.

Devices

• POS Devices: every paired Tappya POS terminal, its current mode (Main / Secondary / Waiter), its branch, and its last-seen timestamp. This is where you start a pairing flow for a new device. See POS Pairing and Modes.
• Printers: receipt and kitchen printer registry.
• KDS: kitchen display configuration.

People

• User Management: invite users, edit names and emails, deactivate users.
• Roles & Permissions: define what each role can see and do.

Subscription & billing

• Subscription: your plan, what's included, billing cycle, plan changes.
• Payment Methods: cards on file for billing.
• Invoices: history of Tappya invoices to you.

Tools

• Asset Manager: central library for images, videos, and documents used across menus, items, categories, and menu links.
• AI Item Image Generator: generate item photos with AI.
• Pro Image Studio: edit / enhance item photos.

Integrations

• Apps Marketplace: installable integrations (delivery aggregators, accounting tools, etc.).
• Webhooks / API keys: for custom integrations.

Asset Manager: the most-used Settings page

The Asset Manager is the central library for every image, video, and document you've uploaded to Tappya. Anywhere you upload an image, item photos, category banners, menu-link covers, branch logos, it's actually stored here.

Open the Asset Manager

Sidebar → Assets (also reachable from any image-upload control via "Choose from library").

What you can do

• Upload: drag-and-drop, or click Upload New Asset. Supported types are images (PNG, JPG, WebP), videos, and documents.
• Filter by media type or search by filename.
• Reuse: once an asset is uploaded, it can be referenced anywhere without re-uploading.
• Delete: an asset can't be deleted while something still references it; Tappya will tell you which item/category/menu-link is using it.

Things that aren't strictly in Settings but feel like they should be

• Branch hours and online-ordering hours are configured per branch under Settings → Branches, not in a separate Hours page.
• Order numbering / receipt header text / receipt footer text are configured on the POS device itself (POS app → Settings → Receipt Settings), not in the dashboard.
• Sales taxes per item are toggled on each Item, but the tax rates themselves are defined under Settings → Tax Configuration.

Key Concepts

• Tenant-level settings: Apply to the whole account (e.g. brands, users, subscription).
• Branch-level settings: Apply only to one location (e.g. opening hours, delivery zones, applicable taxes).
• Device-level settings: Apply only to one piece of hardware (printer, POS terminal). Set on the device itself.
