Settings — Revenue Centers

Feature Overview

Revenue Centers represent the individual areas or service zones of your restaurant — such as the Main Dining Room, Bar, Patio, or a second location. Each Revenue Center operates as a semi-independent unit with its own floor layout, hours of operation, payment settings, and reservation availability. Managing Revenue Center details here keeps your guest-facing profiles accurate and your reporting clean.

How It Affects the System

• The Revenue Center name appears throughout the dashboard in reports, reservations, takeout orders, and the floor layout view. Changing the name updates it everywhere.
• Cover Photos and additional images uploaded here are used on guest-facing surfaces where your Revenue Center is displayed (such as the diner app or online booking page).
• Revenue Center Basic Settings include configuration like the Revenue Center's physical capacity, which affects how many covers can be booked and how capacity reports calculate occupancy.
• Revenue Center Payment Settings allow per-Revenue-Center payment method overrides if different sections of your restaurant operate differently (e.g., the bar accepts cash only).
• Revenue Centers define the scope for many other settings — Hours of Operation, Floor Layout, Reservations, Takeout, and Pickup & Delivery are all configured per Revenue Center.

Prerequisites / Requirements

• Restaurant edit or view permissions are required.
• Revenue Centers are added by Katalyst. Contact Katalyst support to add or remove Revenue Centers — this setting page is for editing details on existing ones.

Common Troubleshooting / FAQs

Q: I need to add a new Revenue Center (e.g., a new patio section). Revenue Centers cannot be created directly from the Settings page. Contact Katalyst support to have a new Revenue Center provisioned for your restaurant. Once created, it will appear as a new tab in all relevant settings and operational pages.

Q: I updated a Revenue Center's name but the old name is still showing in reports. Reports that were generated before the name change will still reference the old name for historical accuracy. New reports generated after the name change will display the updated name. The change is effective immediately for all new data going forward.
