Getting started with Restanaut, from sign-up to your first order
A complete end-to-end walkthrough: create your account, set up your restaurant, publish your page, and handle your first orders.
This guide walks you through the whole journey with Restanaut: creating an account, setting up your restaurant, publishing your ordering page, and receiving your first orders. Each step links to a more detailed guide if you want to dive deeper.
1. Create your account
Go to the log in page and sign up with your email address or your Google account. If you use email, we'll send you a verification code, no password to remember.
2. Create your restaurant
After logging in you'll be asked to create your restaurant. Enter its name and you'll be taken to a short setup wizard that guides you through everything else.
3. Complete the setup wizard
The wizard takes you through each step of the setup:
- Plan, pick Starter, Basic or Business. Every plan starts with a free trial, so you can test everything without risk.
- Restaurant details, address, phone number and photos of your restaurant.
- Opening hours, when your restaurant is open for orders.
- Delivery options, eat in, pick-up and delivery, along with notifications and order handling preferences.
- Menu, build it manually or let Restanaut create it automatically from photos or a PDF of your existing menu.
- Team, invite staff members who will handle orders (Business plan).
- Publish, make your restaurant page live.
For a detailed walkthrough of each step, read the restaurant setup guide.
How to set up your restaurant, step by step
4. Share your restaurant page
Once published, your restaurant gets its own hosted page where customers can browse the menu and place orders. You'll see the page URL on the orders page, copy it and share it on social media, Google Maps, or link it from your existing website.
You can also print a QR code that opens your menu, perfect for tables, windows and flyers. On the Business plan you can serve the page from your own domain.
5. Receive and handle orders
New orders appear instantly on the orders page. Accept an order by giving an estimated waiting time, the customer sees live status updates on their confirmation page. When the order is ready, mark it as done. You can also reject orders with a reason.
To make sure you never miss an order, enable push notifications, email notifications and the sound alarm. You can also print each order for the kitchen, on a thermal receipt printer or plain A4 paper.
6. Keep your menu fresh
You can update your menu at any time, edit dishes and prices, mark sold-out items as temporarily unavailable, and print an updated menu whenever you need it. All changes appear on your restaurant page immediately.
