An access token is required in order for third-party companies to access your restaurant's data for reporting or configuration purposes. Your company controls and manages who is provided an access token; you can create or revoke an access token. You are in control of this access. Some third parties that might require an access token include: 

• Restaurant Magic (Data Central)
• Mirus
• Compeat
• WineQuest
• Any other partners who access your reporting data

Please note: You do not need to create a token for each site in your company. A single token grants access to all of your sites.
