Quick start: your first week with RestaPro

No rush, no breaks. Spend a little time each day and in a week you have everything running: account, tables, menu, online reservations, and automated emails. Total time: ~3 actual hours spread over 7 days.

Day 1 - Signup and onboarding (15 min)​

  1. Go to restapro.es/signup and create an account with email and password.
  2. Verify your email (we send you a link).
  3. Log in - we take you to the restaurant onboarding wizard.

After this step: verified account, workspace created, wizard ready for you.

Day 2 - Tables and hours (30 min)​

In the wizard: Capacity and Hours.

  • Venue type (restaurant, bar, café) - suggested table presets.
  • Mode: by tables (with assignment) or by covers (total capacity). More detail in Tables vs Covers.
  • Weekly schedule with time slots (lunch, dinner, all_day) and service duration.

Day 3 - Digital menu (1-2 h)​

Three ways to load your menu:

  • Template by venue type that you edit by hand.
  • Import from web: paste your website URL and the AI extracts categories, dishes, and prices.
  • Import from PDF/photo: upload the document and the AI structures it.

Mark allergens (the 14 EU + tags), add photos, and feature dishes.

Day 4 - Activate online reservations (5 min)​

Under Publish these are generated automatically:

  • Menu URL: /r/your-slug
  • Reservations URL: /c/your-slug
  • Embed iframe for your own website.

Make a test reservation from a different browser and check it shows up in /app/reservas.

Day 5 - Branding (30 min)​

Under Brand:

  • Square logo (≥200×200) and horizontal cover (1600×1200 ideal).
  • Short tagline.
  • One of the 8 visual themes for the menu.
  • Cross-CTAs: a "Reserve" button on the menu and "View menu" on the reservations page.

Day 6 - Test the public flow (10 min)​

Open your menu and reservations page in incognito. Share the link on WhatsApp, Instagram bio, Google Business. Print the QR for your tables.

Day 7 - Emails and automations (30 min)​

Under Settings → Email:

If your plan includes it, try Pinche by typing "how many reservations do I have today?".

What you have at the end of the week​

  • Verified account, structured operations, professional menu
  • Active online reservations, your own branding
  • Public flow verified, emails and automations configured

From here RestaPro runs on its own. You manage reservations, read the metrics, and talk to your customers.
