# 12. Business settings

Under \*\*Settings → Business\*\* you manage the data that applies to the whole business (all stores).

# Introduction

Under **Settings → Business** you manage the data that applies to the whole business (all stores).

1. **General data** — name, category, contacts.
2. **Timezone** — pick the business timezone from the list. It's the single source of "today"/"now"
   and time conversion across every store. Important for stores in different timezones and so that
   reminders go out at the right time.
3. **Languages** — the default language and the additional languages you offer. **Public pages appear
   in the business's language**, not the site's global language.

# Audit log

Every create/edit/delete by a staff member is recorded. View them under **Settings → Audit**, with
filters by operation, resource, colleague, date and text.

# Tips

- **Change the timezone before creating bookings at scale** — changing it shifts the meaning of
  "today/now" and the time reminders go out.
- Only enable the **languages you actually serve** — the public page offers switching between those.

> 💡 **Scenario:** a Lisbon business with international customers → timezone `Europe/Lisbon`, default
> language EN/PT and additional languages EN/FR/ES; the public page then lets visitors pick those.
