Go live and choose your plan

When you are ready for real customers, go live and pick a plan. Your practice orders, bills and customers are cleared, and your first real bill is number 1.

Until you go live every bill is a test bill. Going live happens once. After it, every bill is real and counts in your reports and tax.

  1. Step 1: On Home, look at Get ready to go live. A row gets a tick when you have done it yourself: Business details, Menu, Tax and POS. Sample dishes do not count as your menu. Tap a row without a tick to do it.

You are done when

The page says Your business is live, and the Practice tag is gone.

If you get stuck

  • Go live is grey on Home — Finish the rows in Get ready to go live: your business details, at least one menu item of your own, tax, and POS (open POS once, or set up a POS terminal).
  • You loaded sample data — Nothing to do. Sample data is always removed when you go live.
