Settings — General Contact Information
Feature Overview
General Contact Information is where you maintain the public-facing details about your restaurant organization. The information stored here — your name, address, phone number, website, and map location — is used across the Katalyst platform and may appear on customer-facing materials such as the diner app and online ordering pages. Keeping this information current ensures guests always find accurate details about your location.
How It Affects the System
- The Name field is the display name used throughout the Katalyst dashboard and on any guest-facing interfaces where your restaurant is referenced.
- The Address, City, State, and Zip fields power your map pin location and may surface in online ordering or reservation booking widgets.
- The Phone number is used for guest communication and may appear on digital receipts.
- The Website URL links guests from Katalyst-powered interfaces back to your own website.
- The Contact Name, Contact Email, and Job Title fields are used internally for account communication and are not displayed to guests.
- The Katalyst Sub-domain (owner accounts only) is your restaurant's unique URL prefix at
.katalystos.com. Changes to this field require approval and are submitted as a request — the current subdomain remains active until the change is approved. - The map pin determines where your location appears on mapping services. You can drag the pin manually or use the Auto-detect location using the address button to snap it to your saved address.
- The Restaurant Logo upload appears in any Katalyst guest-facing branding contexts.
Prerequisites / Requirements
- Restaurant edit or view permissions are required.
- Only owner accounts can request a subdomain change.

Uploading a Restaurant Logo

- Click the upload zone or drag your logo file into it.
- The logo will update immediately after a successful upload.
Requesting a Subdomain Change (Owner accounts only)
- In the Katalyst Sub-domain field, type your desired new subdomain (lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens only).

Common Troubleshooting / FAQs
Q: I updated our address but the map pin is still showing the old location. The map pin does not update automatically when you type a new address. After saving your new address, click the Auto-detect location using the address button to recalculate the pin position. If the auto-detect places the pin incorrectly, drag it manually to the exact location.
Q: I submitted a subdomain request but nothing changed. Subdomain changes require manual approval by the Katalyst team. Your current subdomain will remain fully active until the request is reviewed and approved. If you haven't heard back within a reasonable timeframe, contact Katalyst support.
