Settings is short and mostly one-time. Two of these pages decide what every number in Bar Cop gets measured against, so they are worth ten minutes rather than a skim.

Business Profile

Your operation's identity: bar name and location, your taxes and wage settings, and the service periods you run.

Service periods matter more than they look. They are how Bar Cop knows a Friday night is not a Tuesday lunch, and they feed the readings that compare like with like rather than averaging your week into mush.

Your bar name is also what shows in the top bar, and it becomes the switcher if you run more than one.

Recovery Targets

Every target here sets the line your real numbers get measured against, across the audits, the dashboards and the Fix steps.

These are the numbers that decide whether Bar Cop tells you that you are fine. Leave them at the defaults and you are being scored against a generic bar. Set them to what your operation should actually hit and every green and amber on every screen starts meaning something about your place rather than an industry average.

Pour cost, food cost, labor percent, check average and the rest. Set them once, revisit them when the business changes, and they quietly drive the whole app in between.

Your Account

Your password lives here, and every member can change their own. The owner also sees the subscription, with billing, past invoices and the option to add another bar on its own subscription.

Admins and staff never see billing.

Data and Backup

Everything that gets your data out of Bar Cop and back in: your automatic daily restore points, the manual ones you take yourself, and restoring from either. Owner only.

It has its own guide. See Back Up and Restore.

Team Members

Who can sign in and what they can reach. Covered on its own page, Your Team, Access and Multiple Bars.

Contact Support

Reaches a person. Report a Bug sits beside it and goes to the same place with the details of what you were doing attached, which makes it the faster of the two when something is actually broken.

What Settings does not hold

Your staff roster is in Labor Control, not here. Your products, vendors and locations are in Inventory Control. Settings is the operation's own configuration: who you are, what you are aiming at, who can get in, and how your data is protected.

The one to do first

Recovery Targets. Everything else in Settings can wait until you need it, but until your targets are yours, every score in the app is measuring you against somebody else's bar.

Each page here has its own directions in the app. Tap the i in the top bar while you are on it.
