# Chain settings & connected data

> The switches that quietly power half the intelligence pages.

**Who:** owner or admin.
**When:** onboarding; revisit when policies change.

## Connected Data

**Settings → Connected Data** plugs Garde into your other systems: your **POS** connection — Toast, Square, or Chowbus (see [POS integrations](/platform/pos-integrations)) — and **QuickBooks Online or Desktop** per location (see [Accounting integrations](/accounting/integrations/quickbooks-online)).

The dashboard itself runs in **five languages** — English, Chinese, Spanish, Korean, Thai — each person picks theirs under **Settings → Account**.

## Chain Settings worth knowing

* **Show other units during mobile counts** — off means counters can only use configured count sizes: tighter, fewer unit mistakes.
* **Auto-Approve Purchase Orders** — per location; skips manager approval. Only where you trust every orderer.
* **Auto-Export Daily Sales Journal** — per location; pushes sales journals automatically so your accountant only touches exceptions.
* **Invoice Email** — your bill-pay inbox prefix; vendors email invoices straight into the scan queue.
* **Prime Cost Insight Targets** — Labor % and COGS % targets that grade [P\&L releases](/operating-guide/monthly-pnl) and inform [Mise](/dashboard/assistant).
* **Break Compliance Settings** — one-click **New York preset** or custom break rules; drives the compliance KPIs on Home and Labor.
* **Payroll Tax/Fees overrides** — per-location employer tax rate or fixed monthly amount for labor analytics.

<Tip>
  Set Prime Cost targets and break rules on day one, so every report grades against *your* numbers instead of defaults.
