Getting started

This guide takes you from a signup request to a guest placing a real order at one of your tables.

1. Sign Up

Send the form on the signup page with your restaurant name, contact details and a preferred link. We create your restaurant and email your owner login.

2. Sign in to the console

Open the console from the link in your email (or the Sign In button on this site) and sign in with your owner email and the temporary password we sent. Change the password from the header menu.

3. Build your menu

Go to Menu and add your items — name, pre-tax price, GST rate, station (Kitchen, Bar or Dessert), veg/non-veg mark and an optional photo. Toggle availability any time.

4. Set your branding and UPI

On Branding, set the name and logo diners see, and enter your UPI ID and payee name — this is the account diners pay directly. Without it the bill screen just says “pay at the counter”.

5. Create tables and print QR codes

On Tables & QR codes, add a table per physical table. Each gets a unique QR; use Print sheet and stick one on each table. There’s a separate takeaway link too.

6. Add your staff

On Staff, invite managers, kitchen and captain accounts. On a multi-branch account you also pick which branch each person works at.

7. Activate

Pay the annual subscription to MenuToPay (bank transfer, UPI or cheque). Once we record it, diner ordering switches on. Until then you can set everything up, but the QR codes show “not active yet”.

8. Take an order

Scan a table QR on your phone, add items and place the order. It appears on the Kitchen Display with a chime. Bump it through prep, mark it served, and the guest can open the bill and pay your UPI.
