You’ll then be prompted to select the menu sections you want orders displayed for at this iPad's location. Touch the sections to select and get the old tick happening. Make sure you scroll down to make sure you have gone through all your sections.

At this point you’ll get a small tutorial taking you through the basics and from here, there's only one more thing to do. Press the Settings button (shaped like a cog) at the top right. This will open the screen pictured below.
