# Review business identity and billing defaults

**Console: Settings → Business settings → General.** These defaults belong to
this business and can affect every location. They are different from a single
restaurant's public contact details, hours, or delivery area.

## Read the configuration

Review **Business details**: name, active state, country, currency, locale, and
time zone. Regional defaults and reporting/booking times depend on these values.
Many controls in the current General screen are read-only for restaurant
operators. If a needed change is unavailable, use the authorised support route;
do not obtain platform access or change another account as a workaround.

**Account contact** is for important account/service messages. **Billing email**
is where TablePort invoices go; a blank value falls back to the account contact.
Review who actually monitors those addresses and keep their details within
authorised business access.

## Invoiced to

Check the legal entity identified as paying for TablePort. With multiple
entities, do not assume the first is correct. This identity and billing address
are separate from a location's receipt/accounting profile. Use
[Legal entities](/settings/business/legal-entities) for the supported
configuration.

Where an authorised edit is available, review suggested registered-office
information before saving. Failed lookup does not verify the address; the screen
offers manual entry. A successful save is not a change to provider agreements or
another company's billing authority.

## Save and recovery

Inspect actual permitted fields, save only the intended change, then reopen and
verify. After an uncertain save, check the existing business before
resubmitting. Business deletion is not a recovery step for configuration,
access, billing, or data issues; escalate through the responsible owner/support
process rather than recreating a live business.

Use [Location settings](/settings/location/general) for local service details,
[Team roles](/staff/roles-permissions) for employee access, and
[Billing](/payments/billing) for the subscription/invoice view. Provide business
reference, intended field, observed restriction/value, and exact error through
an authorised channel, keeping contacts and financial records private.
