The Store Configuration page is your central hub for managing your store's operating details, wait time behavior, KPI display, replenishment tracking, and business hours. Changes made here affect how the store operates across BuyerKiosk -- from the customer-facing kiosk to the Workbook queue and reports.

Store Configuration Overview

The Store Configuration page with sidebar navigation on the left and the Store Information section visible.


How to Access Store Configuration

  1. Log in to BuyerKiosk with an admin account

  2. In the left sidebar, click Store Settings

  3. Click Store Configuration

The URL follows the pattern:

https://app.buyerkiosk.com/admin/{your-store-code}/store/configuration

For example, for store pc00:

https://app.buyerkiosk.com/admin/pc00/store/configuration

Note: You must have the uri_store_settings permission to access this page. If you do not see Store Settings in the sidebar, contact your account administrator.


Page Layout

The configuration page uses a sidebar navigation on the left with seven sections. Click any section name to jump directly to it:

Section

What It Controls

Store Info

Store brand, address, phone, timezone, GPS coordinates

Wait Time

MPC (Minutes Per Customer) settings and wait time display

KPI Settings

Which KPIs appear in the Workbook KPI bar and their display options

Replenishment

Replenishment tracking thresholds and settings

Default Hours

Default opening and closing times for your store

Daily Hours

Day-by-day overrides for specific weekdays

Holiday Hours

Special hours for holidays and one-off dates

Each section has its own Save button -- changes are saved per section, not all at once.


Store Information

This section displays your store's brand and ID, and lets you update the address and contact details.

Wait Time Settings

This section controls how wait times are calculated and displayed to customers and staff in the Workbook queue.

Minutes Per Customer (MPC)

MPC is the core unit BuyerKiosk uses to estimate customer wait times. The current MPC value is displayed at the top of this section.

Three toggles control MPC behavior:

Toggle

What It Does

Enable Wait Time Display

When ON, estimated wait times are shown on the customer-facing kiosk and queue displays. When OFF, wait times are hidden from customers.

Lock MPC

When ON, staff cannot change the MPC value from the Workbook queue. The MPC buttons are replaced with a locked indicator showing the current value.

Allow Custom MPC

When ON, staff can enter any MPC value between 1 and 60 minutes. The lowest preset button is replaced with a custom input field.

Note: Lock MPC and Allow Custom MPC are mutually exclusive. Enabling one will automatically disable the other.

Clock Color Thresholds

These settings control when the wait time clock changes color in the queue display:

Threshold

Default

Meaning

Yellow Warning

15 minutes

Clock turns yellow when a customer's wait exceeds this

Red Alert

30 minutes

Clock turns red when a customer's wait exceeds this

The yellow threshold must be less than the red threshold. Click Save Wait Time Settings when done.


KPI Settings

This section controls which Key Performance Indicators appear in the KPI bar at the top of the Workbook view.

Available KPIs

The KPI bar can display metrics like Sales, Buys, Average Transaction, Transactions, and more. For each KPI, you can:

  • Toggle Visible -- Show or hide the KPI in the bar

  • Toggle Goal -- Show or hide the daily goal indicator (available for Sales and Buys)

  • Toggle Comps -- Show or hide year-over-year comparison data (available for Sales, Average Transaction, Transactions, and Buys)

Reordering KPIs

Drag the grip handle on the left side of any KPI row to rearrange the display order. KPIs will appear in the Workbook KPI bar in the order shown here.

Reset to Defaults

Click Reset to Defaults in the section header to restore all KPI settings to their original configuration. This will reload the page after resetting.

Click Save KPI Settings to apply your changes.


Replenishment Settings

This section controls the floor replenishment tracking system, which helps you identify when product categories need restocking from backstock.

Enable/Disable

Use the Enable Replenishment Tracking toggle to turn the feature on or off. When enabled, replenishment reports will be available from the Floor Plan Reports page.

Score Thresholds

Replenishment uses a scoring system to flag categories that need attention. Configure the four threshold levels:

Level

Default

Meaning

Adequate

5

Category is well-stocked

Monitor

10

Category should be watched

Urgent

15

Category needs attention soon

Critical

20

Category requires immediate restocking

Thresholds must be in ascending order (Adequate < Monitor < Urgent < Critical).

Additional Settings

Setting

Default

Description

Bins Per Trip (Offsite)

10

Used for estimated trip calculations in the offsite report

Default Window (Days)

7

Rolling window for categories without replenishment history

Danger Zone: Reset All Tracking

The Reset All Replenishment Tracking button resets scoring data for all categories. Use this after a major restocking event that happened outside the tracked workflow (for example, during a seasonal reset).

Warning: This action cannot be undone. A confirmation dialog will appear before the reset executes.


Default Store Hours

Set your standard opening and closing times here. These times apply to every day of the week unless overridden in the Daily Hours or Holiday Hours sections below.

Field

Description

Opening Time

When your store opens (24-hour time picker)

Closing Time

When your store closes (24-hour time picker)

Click Copy to All Days to apply the default hours to every day in the Daily Hours table below.


Daily Hours

Override the default hours for specific days of the week. The table shows each day (Sunday through Saturday) with:

Column

Description

Day

Day of the week

Open Time

Override opening time for this day

Close Time

Override closing time for this day

Closed

Check this box if the store is closed on this day

Status

Shows whether the day uses default hours or has a custom override

Days using the default hours will display "Default" in the Status column. Days with overrides will show "Custom."


Holiday Hours

Add special hours for holidays or one-off dates. Holiday hours override both default hours and daily hours for the specified date.

Adding a Holiday

  1. Click Add Holiday in the section header

  2. In the modal that appears:

    • Select the Date

    • Enter an optional Holiday Name (e.g., "Christmas Day")

    • Toggle Store Closed if the store will not be open

    • If the store is open, set the Opening Time and Closing Time

  3. Click Save Holiday

Editing or Removing Holidays

Each holiday in the table has action buttons in the right column to edit or delete the entry. Holidays that have passed are still listed for record-keeping but can be removed.


Saving Your Changes

Each section has its own save button. After saving, a green toast notification will appear at the bottom right confirming the change. If there is a validation error (such as the yellow threshold exceeding the red threshold), a red toast notification will describe the issue.

The bottom of the page shows a Last Updated timestamp and provides:

  • Reset Changes -- Undo unsaved changes in the hours sections

  • Save Settings -- Save any pending changes to the hours sections (Default Hours, Daily Hours, and Holiday Hours are saved together)


Troubleshooting

I cannot see the Store Configuration page

  • Verify your account has admin permissions (uri_store_settings permission)

  • Verify you are assigned to this store in your user profile

  • Try navigating directly to /admin/{store-code}/store/configuration

My wait time settings are not reflected in the Workbook

  • Confirm you clicked Save Wait Time Settings after making changes

  • Refresh the Workbook page -- wait time settings are loaded on page load

  • Check that the Enable Wait Time Display toggle is turned ON

KPI changes do not appear in the Workbook

  • Confirm you clicked Save KPI Settings

  • Refresh the Workbook page to pick up the new configuration

  • If you reset to defaults, the page will automatically reload
