How To Create a Restaurant Profile
In this article we will cover everything you need to know about creating a brand new Restaurant Profile for your new partnered and/or non-partnered restaurant.
You will start this process by navigating to the RESTAURANTS tab in your admin backend and then selecting a LOCATION in which you would like to create this new profile.
From here you will see a ADD tab where you will have an option to let our Fully Automated Restaurant and Menu Builder do most of the work for you
OR you can click the little X on the window that pops up, enter the restaurant’s name and select ADD to start creating a restaurant profile manually.
Now once you have a Restaurant Profile creation started you will see a wide variety of options to edit and choose from but don’t let that intimidate you, it’s easier than it looks you can do it!
