Updates & Maintenance

Automatic updates

Fuze Store Hub checks for updates every few hours. When one is available:

You see a small notification in the app
The update downloads in the background (no disruption)
The next time you restart Fuze Store Hub, the new version takes effect

The Fuze Store Hub update notification banner at the top of the app reading "A new version is available — Restart to update" with a Restart now button

You can change the update channel in Settings → About:

Stable (default) — production releases, tested for weeks
Beta — early access to new features, released weekly

The Fuze Store Hub Settings › About screen showing the Update Channel dropdown with Stable selected and a Check for updates button

Stay on Stable unless you're helping us test new features. Beta can include bugs.

Manual update check

Open Settings → About → Check for updates. If a new version is available, it downloads and you'll be prompted to restart.

What gets stored locally

Fuze Store Hub stores everything in your OS user profile:

File	Purpose
`config.json`	Your Store ID, network settings, and feature toggles
`secrets.json`	Encrypted LAN token and Cloud API token
`data/print-queue.db`	Persistent print queue (SQLite)
`data/kds.db`	Local kitchen tickets (SQLite)
`data/logs/fuze-store-hub.log`	Rolling server logs (5 MB × 3 files)

Locations:

Mac — ~/Library/Application Support/Fuze Store Hub/
Windows — %APPDATA%\Fuze Store Hub\
Linux — ~/.config/Fuze Store Hub/

Backing up

For most users, no backup is needed — everything important lives in the Fuze Store cloud. The local databases are transient working copies that auto-rebuild.

If you really want a backup (e.g. before a major OS upgrade), zip the entire user data folder above and keep it somewhere safe.

Starting Fuze Store Hub automatically

By default, Fuze Store Hub does not start when you sign in to the computer. To change that:

Open Settings → General
Toggle Launch at startup on
Optionally toggle Start minimized to tray so it doesn't pop up every time

This is the recommended setup for store computers — Fuze Store Hub starts with the OS and lives silently in the tray.

Uninstalling

Mac — drag Fuze Store Hub from Applications to the Trash. Then optionally delete ~/Library/Application Support/Fuze Store Hub/ to remove stored preferences.

Windows — Start → Settings → Apps → Installed apps → Fuze Store Hub → Uninstall.

Linux — sudo apt remove fuze-store-hub (for .deb installs) or just delete the AppImage.

Uninstalling does not affect your Fuze Store cloud data. You can reinstall any time and re-pair tablets.
