Getting Started
Selflane is the all-in-one platform that runs your restaurant: point of sale, online ordering, payments, loyalty, and reporting. This guide takes you from a blank account to a live operation in five steps.
Plan on roughly 30 minutes of focused work, plus a few hours waiting for Stripe to approve your payment account.
Set up your business
Sign in, create your business profile, and set hours and contact details.
Build your menu
Add menus, courses, dishes, modifiers, and tax rates.
Configure your POS
Install the POS app on an iPad or iPhone, connect printers, and turn on auto-print.
Launch online ordering
Set up Stripe to accept payments, then turn on online ordering and verify your live menu.
What’s next
Train your staff and explore the rest of the platform.
What you’ll need
Have these in hand before you start so you don’t have to stop mid-form:
- Business name, address, phone, and email
- Business hours (regular and any special hours)
- A square logo, 256×256 px or larger
- Cuisine type and price range
- For Stripe payments: business EIN, owner SSN, and bank account routing/account numbers

Each step in this guide is a quickstart. For full reference docs, see the Back Office and POS sections.
