# Ownership & Management Tablet

#### Buying a restaurant

Walk up to a restaurant's **Purchase Point** and buy it for its configured price (`Config.RestaurantTemplates.CreationCost` default, or the price set at creation). Ownership, funds, hygiene and reputation are tracked per restaurant in the database.

Owner permissions apply immediately — no relog needed.

#### Opening the tablet

The management dashboard opens from the **Management PC** station (a tablet prop) and/or a laptop app, controlled by:

```lua
Config.ManagementAccess = "target"  -- "laptop" | "target" | "both"
```

* `target` — only from the physical prop in the restaurant.
* `laptop` — only from the computer app.
* `both` — either.

Only the **owner** and authorized **employees** can open it. It may be **PIN-locked**; unlocking it also starts the guided tutorial on first use.

#### Dashboard tabs

| **Settings**       | Restaurant name, PIN/password, CCTV, permissions, and **Open/Closed** status.                                                                                    |

{% hint style="warning" %}
A restaurant must be set **Open** for AI customers and orders to start flowing to the POS/KDS.
{% endhint %}

#### Reputation & funds

* **Company Funds** — the restaurant's balance; sales and tips flow in, salaries and supply orders flow out. Owners deposit/withdraw from Overview.
* **Reputation / Customer Score** — rises with good service and hygiene; poor hygiene and failed orders hurt it.
