The Captain Aurest App settings are an essential part of system integration, enabling you to connect the app to the database, customize the interface, configure printers, and manage user permissions. The app also supports ongoing updates and synchronization to ensure stable performance, whether operating with the local system (Aurest) or the cloud-based system (Hyper Aurest).
✅ First: Database Connection Methods
The Captain Aurest App can be connected using two main methods:
1️⃣ Local Connection ( Aurest System)
The app connects to the local computer running the POS software via the internal network.
➤ Required connection details:
◾ Computer IP address
◾ Database name
◾ SQL Server username
◾ SQL Server password
✍️ Note: The SQL Server username and password are created via the SQL Server Management Studio installed during the setup of the Aurest system.

The app connects to the Hyper Aurest cloud platform without needing a local network or internal server.
➤ Required connection details:
◾ Restaurant ID (provided upon subscription)
