Get the shop running
Complete Setup once per location. Managers and owners use Setup. Staff can skip this page and go straight to Dashboard, Prep, and Orders.
How the checklist works: Setup page. Incomplete tickets don’t count for waste or profit — complete them on Orders.
Before you start
Sign in & first shop — shop name, full address, kitchen options. Then open Setup. There are three tracks; you can stop after any track.
Track A — Live queue (~5 min)
| Step | Where | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Hours · 2 min | Store → Hours | Set open and close. Close ends “in progress” waste and profit. Hours |
| POS · 3 min | Store → Integrations | Connect Square or Toast. Guiso imports about eight weeks of history for Suggested. Integrations |
Stop here: Orders is live. Prep, waste, and profit stay empty until you finish Track B.
Track B — Top sellers (~23 min)
Guiso does not import recipes from the POS. See Build a menu.
| Step | Where | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Inventory · 5 min | Stock | Receive adds stock. Count sets on-hand. The pencil edits the SKU only. Inventory |
| Recipes · 5 min | Menu → Catalog → Recipes | Link SKUs by hand. Catalog |
| Products · 5 min | Menu → Catalog → Products | Import from Square or enter a Toast GUID. This maps sellables — not recipes. |
| Pars · 8 min | Attach recipes, turn on Weekly par, then open Plan → Weekly planner | Weekly planner |
Stop here: Prep works for those dishes. Waste needs a completed mapped ticket. Profits still need staffing and overhead.
Track C — Full shop (~18 min)
| Step | Where |
|---|---|
| Full pars · 8 min | Plan → Weekly planner — finish the rest of the mapped menu |
| Staffing · 5 min | People → Staffing — Staffing |
| Overhead · 3 min | Margin → Overhead — Overhead |
| People · 2 min (optional) | People — invite the team. People |
Then a normal day
Busy night → Events
