Settings - FAQs

Q: What is the Cost Settings (Cost Options) page?

The Cost Options tab in Settings lets you define your fixed costs (rent, utilities, insurance, etc.), set salary references for key positions, and configure how labor costs are calculated. This data feeds directly into your Profit/Loss reports and the Financial Intelligence dashboard.

Q: What is the Biz Goals tab in Settings?

The Biz Goals tab allows you to set financial targets for your restaurant, including FOH Labor %, BOH Labor %, COGS %, and overall Profit Goal. CheddrSuite uses these benchmarks to highlight when your actual performance deviates from your goals on the Dashboard and in reports.

Q: What does the Permissions tab do?

The Permissions tab lets you define permission group labels and configure the role-permission matrix for your team. You can control which features and data each role (e.g., Manager, Assistant Manager, Staff) can access within the CheddrSuite application.

Q: What integrations does CheddrSuite support?

CheddrSuite integrates with major POS and sales systems including Square, Toast, Clover, and Aloha, as well as delivery platforms like DoorDash and Uber Eats, and food suppliers like Sysco Direct. These integrations allow automatic import of sales data and labor information.

Q: How do I connect my POS system to CheddrSuite?

Navigate to Settings → Integration and select your POS or sales platform from the available options. Follow the on-screen prompts to authenticate and link your account. Once connected, sales data will sync automatically into CheddrSuite's reports and dashboard.

Q: Can I export my schedule to my POS system?

Yes, for supported POS systems such as Aloha, you can publish your schedule directly from the Schedule page using the "Publish Schedule" button. This pushes your labor schedule to the POS for time-keeping and labor cost tracking purposes.
