Device layouts and POS settings

Configure a workstation for front desk, service, production, sales, events or field operations.

A device layout puts the right tools on Home for the person using it. Open Device setup on Home, or More → Features (apps & menus).

Choose a preset, then adjust individual app switches if the workstation combines jobs. For a field agent, enable the relevant CRM, communications and team apps. A prep workstation can serve food preparation, printing, assembly or another production process: the workflow and station names define the work.

Return to the full launcher

Open Features (apps & menus) and tap All on. This enables all apps available to your role and leaves the focused layout. You do not have to turn every switch on separately.

Reset returns to the default communications-focused selection. Group switches control entire sections; individual switches control apps within them. Your device layout is retained when staff sign out. Access still follows the current staff member's permissions.

POS settings

Open Features → POS settings or the POS settings action in the POS menu.

Prep controls

Show Send to prep controls whether the POS offers a separate preparation action. Keep it on when staff release selected items to production. Turn it off for a checkout-focused counter or self-service layout that does not need that operator action.

This is a device presentation setting. Configure any order fulfilment or production automation separately in the organization's workflows.

Payment choices

Enable the methods offered on this device: Cash, Tap to Pay, Card terminal (M2), Online card, Bank transfer and Other. Keep at least one method enabled. A method also needs the corresponding permissions, gateway and hardware before it can be used.

Give payment choices customer-friendly names, such as Card, Pay by card or a counter-specific label. The configuration keeps the technical method identity; the checkout displays the name you choose. A display name does not connect a terminal—use Connect card terminal to set up the hardware.

Business location

The location shown in the working screen's header is the device's assignment. Use its cog or More → Business location to open configuration. Business details and the card terminal belong under that location. See Business location and terminals.

Shared devices

Device layouts, staff identity and business permissions serve different purposes. Use a focused layout to simplify work, then configure staff access and quick sign-in according to your organization policy. See Shared devices.
