Business Details is the third card on the Settings page, under Business Information and your logo. Two of its seven fields decide which category customers see you under when they browse the Qtap app. The rest are stored against your account and nothing reads them yet. Changes here save with the card’s own Save Details button. The cards above and below it have separate Save buttons, so saving your hours does not save your details.
The Business Details card on the Settings page with the Industry and Industry Sub-category fields outlined

The Business Details card. Industry (1) and Industry Sub-category (2) are the two fields customers feel.

Industry and sub-category put you in a browse category

When a customer opens the Qtap app and taps a category chip, the app matches merchants on these two fields and nothing else. Leave both empty and you only appear under Other. Pick your Industry first. The Sub-category list stays greyed out until you do, and its placeholder reads Select industry first.
The Industry dropdown open, listing ten industries from Food and Beverage to Other

Ten industries. Pick one to unlock the sub-category list beneath it.

Food and Beverage is the one that needs both fields

There is no single Food and Beverage chip in the app. Food and drink businesses are listed under nine narrower chips instead: Cafe, Restaurant, Bakery, Fast Food, Juice Bar, Food Truck, Ice Cream, Tea House, and Bar and Lounge. Each one matches your Sub-category. So a cafe that picks Food and Beverage and leaves the Sub-category blank matches no chip at all and drops into Other. Pick the sub-category too.
The Industry Sub-category dropdown open, listing Cafe, Restaurant, Bakery, Fast Food, Juice Bar, Food Truck, Ice Cream Shop, Tea House, Bar and Lounge, and Other

The nine Food and Beverage sub-categories are the chips customers tap. Pick one or you land in Other.

Every other industry works from the Industry field alone. A salon picks Health and Beauty, and the sub-category below it is for your own records.
The business type you picked during onboarding does not fill these fields in. Qtap saves that answer separately and the app’s browse categories never read it. If you have not opened this card since you signed up, your Industry is still empty and you are sitting in Other.

Your page label can disagree with your browse category

The category printed on your page inside the app comes from a different field: the Category you set in the Merchant Page editor. The browse chips ignore that field completely. A merchant who set their Merchant Page category to Bakery and left Business Details empty gets a page that reads Bakery and a listing that only appears under Other. Set both to the same thing.

Two separate rules. The Merchant Page category names your page; only Business Details lists you under a chip.

Fields Qtap stores and does not use yet

Country, Currency, VAT / Tax Percentage, Time Zone, and Google Rating all save, and nothing in the dashboard or the customer app reads them back today. Fill them if you want them on file. Do not expect them to change anything.

VAT (1), Google Rating (2), Currency (3), and Time Zone (4) save against your account and nothing reads them yet.

Where each one really lives:
Settings is owner-only. Managers and staff do not get this page, so ask your account owner to set your industry.
