Sign up and set up your venue
Create your Chefy account, verify your email and land in your new venue.
Use this the first time you come to Chefy. You need an email address you can check straight away, a phone number, and your venue's street address.
Your venue's address matters more than it looks. Chefy uses it to work out your region, set up billing correctly, match you with the right suppliers and keep times local.

What you see first
You land on your venue's Dashboard. The numbers are empty because there is nothing in your venue yet; that changes as soon as you add your first supplier products and recipes.
The help panel opens by itself with a welcome message and two links:
- Look at the demo takes you to a fully set-up demo venue so you can see what Chefy looks like with real data. Explore as much as you like and come back whenever you are ready.
- View the checklist opens the Checklist tab, a short list of the actions that get your venue set up.
The ? button in the bottom-left corner opens the help panel at any time. Until you finish the checklist, the panel reopens each time you load a page. Click Don't show this again in the checklist if you would rather it stayed closed.
