Ownership & Management Tablet
Buying a restaurant
Walk up to a restaurant's Purchase Point and buy it for its configured price (Config.RestaurantTemplates.CreationCost default, or the price set at creation). Ownership, funds, hygiene and reputation are tracked per restaurant in the database.
Owner permissions apply immediately — no relog needed.
Opening the tablet
The management dashboard opens from the Management PC station (a tablet prop) and/or a laptop app, controlled by:
Config.ManagementAccess = "target" -- "laptop" | "target" | "both"
target— only from the physical prop in the restaurant.laptop— only from the computer app.both— either.
Only the owner and authorized employees can open it. It may be PIN-locked; unlocking it also starts the guided tutorial on first use.

Reputation & funds
- Company Funds — the restaurant's balance; sales and tips flow in, salaries and supply orders flow out. Owners deposit/withdraw from Overview.
- Reputation / Customer Score — rises with good service and hygiene; poor hygiene and failed orders hurt it.
