The dashboard tour
When you log in you land on Overview — KPIs, recent orders, today's reservations, alerts. The left sidebar is your navigation; six pinned items (Overview, Orders, Reservations, Menu, Customers, Inventory) plus collapsible groups (Marketing, Website, Operations, Analytics, Account).
Six things to do first
- Verify your profile (Settings → Profile)
- Add at least one menu category + 3 products
- Connect Stripe (Billing → Payment methods) — or skip and accept cash-only for now
- Add staff (Operations → Staff & Permissions)
- Set opening hours + special days
- Place a test order from the public URL — confirm the end-to-end pipeline works
Going live
When everything in step 2 is done, open Website → Publish. Your subdomain (yourname.restora360.com) is now serving real customers. A custom domain takes 5 more minutes — see Custom domain setup (coming soon).
Frequently asked
- No — the storefront returns a "coming soon" page until you publish. You can still build and preview internally.
- Use the RestaurantSwitcher in the top-left of the sidebar. Each restaurant has its own data + Stripe account.
