Manager Settings holds the settings that live on the device itself, as opposed to the Admin Portal settings that apply to the whole location.

The General screen settings in detail

• Device Name — name this device something a human recognises. It is what shows in the Authorized Devices screen and in support conversations.
• Waitlist — makes the wait list visible in Table Layout screens.
• Training Mode — see Turn on training mode.
• Verify Guest Count on Save — prompts servers for a guest count when saving a new ticket without one.
• Device Excluded Rooms — rooms selected here cannot be opened or ticketed from this device. Use it to keep a bar terminal out of the dining room.
• Language — sets the language of POS labels and text.
• Tab Room Ticket Sort — newest first, oldest first, alphabetical by guest name, or alphabetical by credit or debit card name.
• Auto Logout — 30 seconds, 1, 2, 5, 10 minutes or 1 hour of idle time before the POS logs itself out.

A note on Auto Logout. Short is safer. A terminal left signed in is a terminal anyone can ring on. Thirty seconds suits a busy service bar; five minutes suits a slow dining room where servers are away from the station.
