> An overview of all KwikEat Desktop settings, tab by tab: shop, ordering, delivery and payment, printing, links and security.

`F9` opens the settings. They are on five tabs. When you change something, keep it with **Save**; **Discard** undoes unsaved changes.

## Shop

- **Shop**: name, phone, e-mail, website, company and VAT number (on the receipt), and the **language** of KwikEat on this computer.
- **Address**: the shop's address, the starting point of all delivery distances. The **country** sets how addresses are written. Here you also download the **postcodes** around the shop: see [Delivery and postcodes](https://kwikeat.com/manual/bezorgen-en-postcodes).

- **Warn after** and **Alert after**: after how many minutes late the order board marks an order as late, and when as an alert.
- **Vacation**: from, until, and a message for the web shop.
- **Opening hours**: when customers can order online, per day.
