Licenses

The Licenses tab lists all of your licenses Kiosk IDs, when they expire & when have last checked in with the servers.  It also allows you to assign each Kiosk ID to the appropriate store location using the dropdown list.  This assignment is important because orders placed on the kiosk will automatically default to this selected store location for pickup.

Settings

The Settings tab gives you easy control over the most common PFK settings.  Changes are saved automatically as you make edits.

The "Settings For" dropdown allows you to select which Kiosk ID the settings will be applied to.  You begin by configuring your default settings which will apply to all kiosks.  You can then select individual Kiosk IDs from the dropdown and override just the specific settings that you wish to change for the kiosk.
