Guide — Administration

Running your entire venue

Everything that doesn't happen on the floor, in the kitchen, or at the register is configured here: your menu, your team, your finances, your brand image and the tracking of your business.

01

Categories & products

Admin → Categories / Products

Your menu is built on two levels: categories (Drinks, Grilled dishes…) that contain products. Each product can have a photo, a price, translations and, if needed, a stock tracking (see the stock guide).

English and Arabic translations are optional — without them, the French name and description are shown to all your customers.
02

Tables & QR codes

Admin → Tables & QR codes

Every table you create automatically generates its own QR code, printable directly as a ready-to-place poster.

  1. Create a table

    Number or name, capacity, zone (terrace, dining room…).

  2. Print its QR code

    PDF poster ready to place on the table, or direct printing.

03

Team accounts & roles

Admin → Team

One account per team member, with a role that determines the screen they access — see the roles table on the guides homepage.

All-round staff
The "All-round staff" role covers kitchen, bar, cashier and floor in a single account — handy for small teams where one person moves between stations depending on how busy it is.
04

Staff scheduling

Admin → Scheduling

A weekly view for assigning each team member to a shift. Gestbar automatically refuses two overlapping shifts for the same person.

Each team member sees their own upcoming schedule from "My schedule", available on every station screen.
05

Taxes & discounts

Admin → Taxes / Discounts

Set your default VAT rate and your reusable discounts (percentage or fixed amount) — they'll be offered at the register when invoicing.

06

Payment methods

Admin → Payment methods

Enable cash, card, and mobile money (Feexpay) with the operators available in your area. These methods then appear at the register and on the customer's payment page.

07

Cash session history & cashier alerts

Admin → Cash sessions / Cashier alerts

Review every register opening/closing along with any variance. The "Cashier alerts" page automatically flags a cashier who cancels or discounts unusually often over the last 7 days — a useful signal, not an accusation.

Customize your brand

Admin → Settings

Your logo and a primary color appear on the menu seen by your customers — the order button, the review stars, the cart badge.

09

Loyalty program

Admin → Settings

Enable loyalty and set how many points a customer earns per amount spent, and what they get in exchange once the threshold is reached. Day-to-day management is then done at the register via the customer's phone number.

10

Online reservations

Admin → Reservations

Once enabled, your customers can book a table from a public page. Every new request alerts you by notification and by email — useful if you don't keep the application open at all times.

11

Customer reviews

Admin → Customer reviews

Find here every rating and comment left by your customers after payment (see the customer experience guide).

12

Reports

Admin → Reports

Revenue, average ticket, payments by method, best-selling products, a breakdown of every invoice over the chosen period — exportable to PDF or Excel. A Stock section rounds out these reports (see the stock guide).

13

Billing & subscription

Admin → Billing

Your plan determines your limits (number of tables, products, team members) and the available features (loyalty, reservations, reports). Renew your subscription by mobile money directly from this page.

An expired subscription suspends access to the administration area and to customer orders — you remain, however, always able to access this billing page to renew it yourself.
14

Managing multiple venues

If your account has access to several restaurants, a selector appears at the top of the administration screen to switch between them — each venue keeps its own data, menu and team.

15

Notifications

In addition to in-app notifications, an email is automatically sent to you for events that deserve your attention even offline: new reservation request, suspended subscription, low stock on a product.
