Open `Restaurant` from the Plato Console when you want to manage restaurant operations, menus, reports, tables, or POS devices.

## Main Areas

The Restaurant sidebar is grouped around daily work:

* `Dashboard` gives a quick view of today's activity.
* `Orders` is where staff review and create restaurant orders.
* `Transactions` shows restaurant payments, refunds, tips, and manual transactions.
* `Engagement` contains customers, promotions, and promo codes.
* `Menu Management` contains menus, categories, products, and modifiers.
* `Table Management` contains tables and table sessions.
* `Reports` contains sales, payments, item performance, kitchen, employee, session, void, discount, and expense reports.
* `Settings` contains devices, discounts, charges, payment methods, reasons, delivery zones, and branch access.

## Menu App Editor

When you open a specific online menu, the sidebar changes. That editor has its own pages:

* `Builder` controls what appears on the public menu.
* `General` controls menu name, type, price visibility, URL, and deletion.
* `Language` controls default and additional menu languages.
* `Ordering` controls dine-in, delivery, pick-up, customer fields, and operating hours.
* `Theme` controls colors, fonts, radius, placeholders, logo visibility, and welcome page.
* `Integrations` connects reservations, Bio Link, and Stripe settings.
* `Feedback Form` controls customer feedback collection.
* `Public URL` opens the customer-facing menu.

## A Good Setup Path

Start with setup pages before turning on ordering. A clean menu, clear order types, correct payment methods, and tested devices make the order flow much easier for staff.
