Venue settings — the identity card every other screen reads

Before anything else works, the system needs to know who you are, where you are, when you’re open, and what currency you charge in.

The rule

Every other settings page drills into one corner of what lives here. Change the hours, the currency or the name once, and every receipt, email, public page and scheduled post picks it up automatically.

What’s on the page

  • Name and public URL. The name appears on receipts, the public menu, every email and the browser tab. The slug is the address customers see. Changing it breaks every QR code and shared link already out there, so it has its own confirmation step.
  • Currency, decimals, timezone. Three dropdowns that quietly drive every formatter. Pick THB and prices render in baht with no decimals; pick Europe/Rome and every timestamp and scheduled post reads in Rome time.
  • Opening hours. Seven rows, with an optional note per day (“kitchen closes 22:30, bar until midnight”) and a closed toggle. These reach the public site and the AI’s sense of when you’re alive — so it won’t schedule a “lunch is now” post on your day off.
  • Contact and address. Phone, email, WhatsApp, LINE, the street address and map coordinates. Your social handles appear in the public footer and tell the calendar where to publish.

How to use it

Open Settings → Venue and work top to bottom. Edit any field and hit Save changes. A couple of cards — the slug and the about page — have their own save button, because changes there cascade further than a phone-number tweak.

You don’t have to fill it all at once. Defaults are sensible: currency falls back to USD, timezone to UTC, hours to closed until you set them.

Good to know

  • Changing the currency doesn’t convert historical prices — it swaps the symbol going forward.
  • Changing the timezone re-renders every historical timestamp in the new zone.
  • Your map coordinates power the “find us” link, so they’re worth getting right even if the street address looks fine.
