From setup to service

A clear path through the working day.

Start with your operation. Keep the work connected as the day moves.

  1. Set up the way you work.

    Set your Products, opening hours, pickup or delivery, preparation time and capacity. Guided setup helps you check what needs attention before you begin.

    • Your opening hours
    • Pickup and delivery options
    • Preparation time and capacity

  2. Connect what you sell to what you make.

    Keep Products, prices and Specials current. Connect ingredients, packaging, recipes and production batches, then follow purchase orders into receiving.

    • Products
    • Inventory
    • Recipes
    • Production
    • Purchasing

  3. Bring your menu to your customers.

    With online ordering set up, customers browse your branded ordering page, add supported Products and choose eligible pickup or delivery dates and times at checkout.
