Settings & administration

Settings is where you tune how your restaurant works behind the scenes: how the calendar behaves, your subscription and invoicing details, automatic backups, and account security. Everything is grouped into tabs across the top of the page, so you can jump straight to the part you need. Logo, brand colours and guest-email styling live on Brand in the Branding sidebar section.

Before you begin

You will find these settings under Settings in the left navigation. Opening Settings needs the Update restaurant permission. The Billing and Security tabs — and the backup tools inside Data — are meant for organization admins and additionally need the Manage organization permission, so employees without it simply will not see them. As the restaurant owner you have every permission by default; employees see the page only once you grant it.

The Settings page. Each tab holds a different group of options; pick the one you need from the row at the top.

The Settings tabs

General

Everyday CRM chrome: which sidebar items you see, and — on plans that include it — Table Ordering (guests order from their table by scanning a QR code) and course management. Calendar week start and the Bookings default view live on Bookings ▸ View settings. Booking confirmation lives on the Booking Page editor.

Languages

The default language of your restaurant and which languages your menu is available in. This tab only appears if you are not using a booking page — otherwise these controls live on the booking page’s own settings instead.

Billing

Your Eighty-Six subscription (not guest table payments): current plan and price, renewal or trial date, and the card on file. Below that, invoicing details — company name, VAT, tax code, PEC, SDI and billing address — for invoices we issue you. Guest pay-at-table setup lives under Payments in the sidebar.

Data

Export or import your restaurant’s data, and set up backup & sync: connect Google Drive or Dropbox and choose which data to back up automatically every Monday, with a history list showing each run and whether it succeeded.

Security

Require two-factor authentication for members with particular roles. When a role is marked as required, anyone holding it must set up two-factor authentication before they can use the dashboard.

Saving your changes

Change anything on a tab and an Unsaved changes bar slides up at the bottom of the page, showing how many changes are pending. Click Save changes there — or press Ctrl/⌘ S — to save every change on the tab at once, or Discard to undo them. This one bar replaces the per-section save buttons, so a tab with several cards still saves in a single click. The Billing tab is the exception: it opens a secure checkout rather than saving a form, and the Export and Import tools in Data act as soon as you click them.

The General tab. Change any setting and the Unsaved changes bar appears at the bottom with Save changes and Discard.

Tip

Restaurant logo, brand colours and guest-email styling now live on Brand in the Branding sidebar section. The booking page inherits that logo and those colours, and can still override them on its Theme tab.
