Getting started

Buy Resto on this website, once or in monthly parts, signing in with your Google account. Then download Resto on your Windows computer, install it and sign in with the same Google account. Resto asks for your restaurant's details once, then you add your menu and print your first bill.

Buying Resto

Press Buy Resto Core in the app (or on this website) and pay. Sign in with the same Google account you use in Resto. Resto on your computer unlocks by itself within a few seconds; if not, press Check now.

Paying monthly

Resto works from the first payment. Each month, a banner in Resto reminds you a few days before a payment is due: press Pay now. If a payment is missed, Resto pauses a few days later and starts again the moment it is paid; nothing is lost. After the last payment Resto is yours for life. You can also pay everything left at once.

Backing up to Google Drive

In Resto, open Settings → Backup and press Connect. Sign in with your Google account and allow Resto to keep its files in your Drive. From then on Resto keeps one backup of your menu, orders and settings in your Google Drive, in a folder called RESTO-BACKUP (DO NOT DELETE), and replaces it with a new one every day. You can make that every week, every month, or only when you press Back up now. Only you can see it, and Resto can see only its own files, nothing else in your Drive. You can also press Save a backup file to put a copy on a USB stick; keep it safe, because it has your customer list.

Moving to a new computer

On the old computer, open Settings → Backup and press Back up now. Then install Resto on the new computer and sign in with your Google account. Resto shows where it is now and asks Move Resto here? Press it. The old computer stops using Resto. When Resto asks for your restaurant's name, press Restore from a backup, connect the same Google Drive and pick the newest backup. Resto restarts with your menu, orders, settings and staff, and everyone signs in with their old PIN. Staff phones need to scan the pairing QR once more.

Already moved? The old computer can still make a backup: on its lock screen, press Back up my data.

"Connect to the internet"

Resto works without the internet, but it needs to reach the internet for a few seconds once in a while (every couple of months) to check its licence. If it shows this screen, connect the computer (WiFi or a phone hotspot is fine) and press Check now.

Resto Pro (the Digital Menu)

Resto Pro is paid yearly and never charges you by itself. Resto reminds you before it ends; press Renew. If it is not renewed, only the Digital Menu pauses. Your web address and the QR codes on your tables are kept and work again as soon as you renew.
