1. Profile & opening hours

Open Settings → Profile and enter:

  • Restaurant name, phone, address, currency
  • Time zone
  • Opening hours per weekday + any special days (Midsummer Eve, Christmas, etc.)
The address feeds delivery-zone math, Google Business sync, the chain landing page (if you're part of a group), and the local-SEO schema emitted on every public page.

Pick one path:

  • Type it in — Menu → Categories, then add products.
  • Import — Open Import in the sidebar; upload a CSV or photo, the AI menu writer converts it.
  • Copy a template — Pick a cuisine template; ships with starter categories.

For each item, set: name, price, description (≥30 chars helps SEO), image, allergens, dietary tags.

3. Payments

Connect Stripe under Billing → Payment methods. See Stripe Connect onboarding. Until Stripe is connected, your storefront only offers Cash on Delivery / At Pickup.

4. Staff & roles

Add team members under Operations → Staff & Permissions. Owners can do everything; Managers can take orders + edit menus; Kitchen sees only order tickets; Waiters can take orders only. See RBAC overview (coming soon).

5. Marketing

Three quick wins:

  • Google Business sync — Settings → Google Business → Connect. Reviews + hours go both ways.
  • Email collection — Settings → Email marketing → enable the checkout opt-in.
  • First offer — Promotions → New offer → 10% off first order, code WELCOME10. See Offers & campaigns.

6. QR menus + table pay

Print a QR menu for every table (Operations → QR Generator). Set up table-side QR pay if you want customers to settle from their phone.

7. Launch

Open Website → Publish and toggle "Published". The site is live. Open the public URL and place a test order to confirm the full pipeline.

Frequently asked

  • About 60 minutes if your menu fits on one page. Menus over 50 items take longer because of photo prep — budget 2 hours.
