Get 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, with optional setup for displays and kiosk.

Plan on roughly 30 minutes of focused work to set up your business, menu, and POS.

Start with the first three steps. Add Displays, Hub, and online ordering when they fit your operation.

Set up your business

Sign in and create your business profile. Choose your Google listing to pull in your hours and contact details, or enter them yourself.

Import your menu from photos or PDFs with AI, then review menus, dishes, modifiers, and tax rates. This keeps setup fast and reduces typing.

Set up your POS

Install Selflane POS on an iPad or iPhone, then connect your printers.

Set up displays

Want a paperless kitchen? Run Selflane Displays on iOS or Android. We also offer professional KDS installation with commercial-grade Android screens proven for kitchen use.

Set up Selflane Hub

Short on staff or want customers to order for themselves? Selflane Hub runs on iOS and Android and includes Kiosk for service without a server.

Launch online ordering

Let customers order directly through your Selflane ordering page or branded website. Create your Stripe account in Back Office, then turn on online ordering and verify your live menu. For a complete branded experience, set up a custom domain and contact our team to plan a branded app.

Add more services

Train your staff, then add the services that fit your operation:

Set up Third-Party Delivery for orders placed through Selflane and delivered by a partner driver.
Connect Third-Party Ordering to sync marketplace and AI-platform orders to Selflane POS.
Set up a custom domain for your white-label ordering site.
