General Device Settings

While most settings are found on the web dashboard, the KioskBuddy app does have some separate settings to be specifically applied to each self-order kiosk. You'll find them on the kiosk configuration screen, which is the screen just before starting kiosk mode. On this screen there are a few required settings and a bunch of optional settings that you may want to configure depending on your use case and business operations. General device settings are detailed in this article.

Square location

In order to take payments via Square, KioskBuddy needs to know which Square Location it will be selling at. This is used for a bunch of internal operations such as reporting in the Square Dashboard as well as for security purposes. This panel will contain a list of the Square locations associated with your linked Square account. Select the checkbox next to the desired location for the kiosk and you're good to go!

Before you start up your kiosk, KioskBuddy needs to know what menu to show, since you can have as many menus as needed. This panel will contain a list of the menus in your KioskBuddy account. Select the checkbox next to the desired menu to display. When kiosk mode is active, the app will listen for any changes made to the menu and display them in real-time!

Device name

Use this text field to give the kiosk a name, which will be applied to any failed printout emails sent to your account and can be optionally added to the order name. This is useful when you have multiple kiosk devices running at the same location to identify which kiosk is which. For example, you might have a kiosk at each table named "Table 1", "Table 2", etc. - using this setting, you can figure out where the order needs to go.
