Going-live checklist

Before you share your storefront and take real orders, run through this checklist. It covers the things that most often trip up a new restaurant on its first day.

Menu is complete and live

• Every item you sell is added, priced, and set to live.
• Sizes and option groups are set up for items that need them, and each option's price is correct.
• Categories are in the order you want customers to see them.
• Anything you are out of is marked out of stock so customers cannot order it.

Hours are set

• Your weekly opening hours are entered for each day.
• Days you are closed are marked closed, not left blank.
• If you already know about an upcoming holiday or early close, set it now. See Hours.

Payment method is ready

• You have chosen how you get paid — e-transfer or card payments — and it is turned on. See Payment options.
• Your tax rate and any minimum order amount are set on the Ordering & Payments settings.

Ordering options match how you operate

• Pickup and delivery are each turned on or off to match what you actually offer.
• If you deliver, your delivery area and any delivery fee are set. See Delivery and drivers.

Branding looks right

• Your logo and colors are set so the storefront looks like your restaurant. See Branding.
• Your restaurant name, address, and contact details are correct.

Place a test order

The single best check is to order from your own storefront the way a customer would. Add items to the cart, go through checkout, and confirm the order lands on your Orders board and any notifications reach you. See Managing orders.

Once a test order flows through cleanly, you are ready to share your storefront address and start taking real orders.
