Restaurant operating guides

Help for the people running the restaurant: managers, shift leaders, front-of-house teams, kitchen teams, and staff looking after stock.

Start with Find your way around TablePort to understand the Console, Staff app, and location selection.

Something is blocking service

Find the right instructions

Each guide names the Console or Staff app. Your role, location, and app release can affect the available controls. Check these with a manager when your screen differs from the guide.

For LLMs and automation clients, use the separate Agents and integrations reference. It describes supported tools and verification rather than assuming that every restaurant screen can be operated by an assistant.
