Set Up Your Restaurant

Everything a customer sees comes from these four pages of the portal: Settings, Menu, Tables and Take Away.

Settings

The Settings page opens read-only. Click Edit in the top-right corner to unlock the fields, make your changes, then click Save Changes (or Cancel to discard them). What you can set:

• Restaurant Details — name, description, address, phone, and a photo (JPEG/PNG/WebP up to 500 KB) shown at the top of your customer menu.
• Restaurant URL — the public ID you chose at registration. The page shows the exact menu link it produces underneath the field.
• More Languages — pick which languages appear in the language switcher, separately for Customer Apps (menu and takeaway) and Team Apps (portal, kitchen, staff, cashier). English is always available; anything you don't tick is hidden from the switcher.
• Order Settings — the Pay on Order switch, explained in full in Payments.
• Menu Currency — the currency used for menu prices, customer checkout and every total your team sees.
• Price Addon and Tips — automatic charges and customer tipping, both covered below.

Build your menu

The Menu page has two tabs: Items and Categories.

1. Open the Categories tab and click + Add Category to create groups such as Starters, Mains, Drinks. Sort Order decides the order they appear in for customers.
2. Switch to the Items tab and click + Add Item. Give the dish a Name, an optional Description, a Price (greater than 0, in your menu currency), a Category, an optional Image (up to 200 KB) and a Sort Order.
3. Leave Available ticked for dishes you're serving. Un-tick it when you run out — the dish disappears from the customer menu immediately, and no one can order it, but you keep the item for tomorrow.

Every change is live for customers the next time they open the menu — nothing to reprint. Deleting a category leaves its dishes in place; they simply become uncategorised.

Tables & QR codes

On the Tables page, click + Add Table and give each physical table a Table Name (for example Table 1 or Window Seat A) and a Capacity. Leave Active ticked for tables in use.

Each table row then gives you:

• ↓ QR Code — download the table's QR code as an image. Print it and put it on the table. Scanning it opens your menu with that table already selected.
• Open Link — open the same menu yourself to check how it looks.
• Edit / Delete — rename, deactivate or remove the table. Past orders from a deleted table are kept and shown as "Deleted Table".

Your general menu link — the menu with no table attached — is on the Dashboard, with a Copy button. Use it on your website or social media: people can browse, but they must scan a table QR code to actually order.

Take away QR code

The Take Away page holds one QR code for the whole restaurant. Print it for your counter or window. Customers who scan it enter their first name and last initial, then order exactly as they would at a table — the order is filed under their name instead of a table number, so you know who to call when the food is ready.

Price add-ons & tips

Both live at the bottom of the Settings page (click Edit first).

Price Addon — automatic charges applied to every order, such as GST or a holiday surcharge. Click +, name the add-on and choose a method:

• Times a percentage — the value is in hundredths of a percent, so 30 adds 0.3% and 1500 adds 15%.
• Add a fee — the value is whole currency units, so 10 adds 10 to the order.

Add-ons apply one after another, top to bottom, so their order matters — use the ↑ and ↓ buttons to arrange them. You can have up to 10.

Tips — switch tipping on and add up to five percentage buttons (each a whole number from 1 to 100) that customers see at checkout. Turn on Client input own tips to also let them type their own tip, as a percentage or a fixed amount. The tip is calculated after all price add-ons — see How an order total is built.
