• Name: What the device profile will be called on the Restaurant App Settings page in Restaurant Manager.
• Default Profile: Enable this setting to automatically apply the profile to any new devices you add to your account.

Select either Table service or Quick service mode to use for the device profile:

• In Table Service mode, you can select seats and coursing and send an order before finalizing its receipt.
• In Quick Service mode, orders must be sent and finalized at the same time. Quick service mode also includes fewer settings than Table service mode.

To learn more about the differences between these two modes, visit our About Quick Service mode article.

All devices using this device profile are listed in this section. Here, you can add or remove devices from the profile. 

Note: When editing the default device profile, you cannot remove devices from this section.

  Click to learn about the options for this setting

  The options for the Accept and finalize incoming online orders setting are:

  • Manually accept and finalize: Employees will need to manually send online orders to the kitchen or bar and close them out after they appear on the POS.
    We don’t typically recommend this option as there are others that will automatically accept and/or finalize orders.
  • Automatically accept: Online orders will be automatically sent to the kitchen or bar after they appear on the POS, but employees must manually close them out. This leaves orders open in case you need to make changes.
    Use this setting with Lightspeed Order Ahead or Lightspeed Order Anywhere. It can also be used with Lightspeed Delivery.
  • Automatically accept and finalize: Online orders will be automatically sent to the kitchen or bar and closed out after they appear on the POS. Only orders that contain a payment will be auto-finalized.
    Important: This setting is not supported for use with Lightspeed Order Ahead or Lightspeed Order Anywhere. It can be used with Lightspeed Delivery, as long as you only allow customers to pay in advance.
• Sound effects: Enables sound effects in the POS app when tapping buttons.
• Alert sound for new takeout/delivery orders: Controls if an alert sound is played when takeout or delivery orders are received at the POS.
