Operators are the specific organizations you wish to identify as when you sell tickets. An operator may be the equivalent of a venue.
For instance, if you wish to sell tickets as two different venues on the same Tessera instance, you would set up two operators. Each can be linked to a separate payment gateway, or share the same gateway.

When you create an operator, you must select the timezone and payment gateway. (Tecture will configure the available features based on your subscription.)

Emails can be configured independently for each operator you configure, so if you need tickets to have separate venue-specific branding, you will want one operator per brand.
