Quick Start for Restaurants

Get your restaurant set up on Fleksa and start accepting orders. This guide covers the essential steps to go live.

Create Your Account and Select Your Restaurant

  1. Go to partner.fleksa.com and sign up with your business email

  2. Complete the onboarding form with your restaurant details (name, address, phone, business hours)

  3. Select your plan and connect your Stripe account for payment processing

  4. Once approved, you will have access to the Partner Portal

Stripe onboarding is required to accept online and card payments. You can start configuring your menu while Stripe verification is in progress.

Configure Your Menu

Build your digital menu in the Partner Portal:

  1. Navigate to Menu in the sidebar

  2. Create categories (e.g., Starters, Main Courses, Drinks)

  3. Add items to each category with name, description, price, and photo

  4. Set up modifiers for customization options (e.g., size, toppings, extras)

  5. Mark allergens and dietary tags (vegan, gluten-free, etc.)

Tips for a good menu:

  • Use high-quality photos -- items with photos get significantly more orders

  • Keep descriptions short and appetizing

  • Set accurate preparation times for kitchen efficiency

See Menu Management for the full guide.

Set Up Your Ordering Channels

Enable one or more ways for customers to order:

Restaurant Website

  • Go to Website Builder in the Partner Portal

  • Choose a template, add your branding (logo, colors), and publish

  • Your website includes built-in online ordering, menu display, and reservations

QR Table Ordering (PayPerSe)

  • Go to Settings > QR Ordering and enable it

  • Generate QR codes for each table

  • Print and place QR codes on tables -- customers scan to order and pay from their phone

POS Terminal

  • Install the Fleksa POS app on your tablet or Sunmi device

  • Log in with your Partner Portal credentials

  • Connect a payment terminal if accepting card payments (see Stripe Terminal Setup)

Delivery

Go Live

Before going live, verify these essentials:

  • [ ] Menu is complete with prices, descriptions, and photos

  • [ ] Business hours are set correctly under Settings > General

  • [ ] At least one payment method is active (Stripe, cash, or EC Cash)

  • [ ] Test order placed successfully through each enabled channel

  • [ ] Notification sound is enabled so you do not miss incoming orders

Once everything checks out:

  1. Set your restaurant status to Open in the Partner Portal

  2. Your website and ordering channels are now live

  3. Orders will appear in the Orders section and trigger notifications

Place a few test orders yourself before opening to customers. Verify that orders appear correctly, payments process, and kitchen tickets print or display on KDS.
