Admin Setup

What you will learn: how to finish setting up the merchant account so the rest of the system has the data it needs — business info, branding, and the device list.

Business info

From the sidebar, open Settings → Business. Fill in:

• Legal name and DBA (the customer-facing name).
• Address, including suite or unit if applicable.
• Phone and contact email — these appear on receipts.
• Time zone — critical, because the dashboard, hourly sales, and schedules all read this.
• Tax rate — DineNGo applies this automatically at checkout. If you are in a region with item-level tax, set the default here and override per-item in Inventory.
• Service charges — optional fixed or percentage charge added to every check.

Save before leaving the screen.

Branding

Open Settings → Branding. Upload:

• Logo — 1024×1024 PNG with a transparent background works best. Shows on the kiosk welcome screen, on receipts, and on the customer-facing QR order page.
• Primary color — the accent color used on customer-facing surfaces. Use a hex value or pick from the swatch.
• Receipt header text — one line above the items on every printed receipt.

The kiosk welcome screen updates within a few seconds. Other devices may need to refresh.

Devices

The Devices screen is the source of truth for every paired tablet. Each row shows:

• Device nickname (you set this).
• Role — Kiosk, KDS, Table, Cashier, or Rewards.
• Status — Online, Offline, or Pending pairing.
• Last seen timestamp.

To add a device

1. Click + Add Device.
2. Pick the role.
3. Give it a nickname (e.g. Kiosk – Front Left).
4. A pairing code appears on screen. It expires in five minutes.
5. On the Android tablet, open the DineNGo app, tap Pair, and enter the code.

To remove a device

Open the device row, click Unpair. The tablet will return to the pairing screen and the slot frees up.

Receipt and printer setup

If you are running a receipt printer at the cashier or kitchen:

1. Open Devices, then Printers.
2. Click + Add Printer.
3. Pick the type — Clover-attached, Pi-helper (Epson TM-L90 or compatible ESC/POS), or browser print.
4. Assign the printer to a station — Receipts, Kitchen, or a custom station you defined under Inventory.

Stations route tickets automatically — see 06-Orders-and-KDS-Flow.
