Quick answer: On the kiosk, tap the top-left corner of the Tap to Start screen, enter the password you signed in to the kiosk with, then tap Settings. The kiosk Settings menu has General, Payment Methods, Printer Settings, Device Mode and Surcharge Settings. The kiosk’s look and its order types (Disable Eat-In, Disable Takeaway) are set in Nomni Console on the Kiosk Setting page (app.abacus.co/CloudSetting/KioskSetting).
This article is for the Nomni Kiosk app on Android (Kiosk, Kiosk T-Series and Kiosk N-Series, version 1.0.80). For the older Windows kiosk, see Self-Ordering Kiosk User Guide.
Open the kiosk settings
On the Tap to Start screen, tap the top-left corner of the screen. There is no visible button; the tap area is about the size of a fingertip square in the corner.
In the Password box ("Enter your password"), type the password you used to sign in to the kiosk. This is your Nomni Console sign-in password. Your manager has it; we can’t share passwords in chat.
Tap Settings.
What you should see: the kiosk admin screen. The side menu shows Kiosk, Order History, Settings, Menus, Products, the app version and System Log Out.
If the password is wrong, the kiosk shows "Invalid password, please try again". The same password screen also has Open Register / Close Register, so staff can open the register from the kiosk.

Settings in Nomni Console (Kiosk Setting page)
The kiosk’s look, languages and order types are set in Nomni Console on the Kiosk Setting page (app.abacus.co/CloudSetting/KioskSetting). It has three tabs: APPEARANCE SETTINGS, GENERAL SETTINGS and NETWORK SETTINGS. Each part has its own save button (Save Colours, Save Fonts, Save UI Settings, Save General Settings). The Android kiosk picks up changes by itself while it’s online and signed in. You don’t need to sync.
