Live by lunchtime: the 10-minute stall setup

The biggest myth about taking digital orders is that it's a project. New tills, a tablet you have to buy, a week of setup. With YesChef it's a coffee break. Here's the whole thing, start to finish.

1. Create your account (3 minutes)

Sign up with your email and business details. Connect the payment method you already use (Yoco, SnapScan, iKhokha, Zapper or Paystack) so the money from every order lands directly in your own account. There's no YesChef wallet in the middle. We check your details before your menu goes live, so build it out while we do.

2. Build your menu (5 minutes)

Add your dishes with a photo, a price, and a line of description, then group them into categories like Mains, Sides, and Drinks. Build it once. Your menu items live in a permanent library, so the next event is just a matter of choosing what's on today.

• Add modifiers like 'extra cheese' or 'no onion' so the kitchen sees exactly what to make.
• Bundle a Burger, Chips, and a Drink into a combo at a meal-deal price in a couple of taps.
• Set a daily limit on the doughnuts so you never oversell what you prepped.

3. Print your QR code (2 minutes)

Download your unique QR code and put it where customers can see it: laminated on the counter, printed on your banner, stuck to the menu board. That code is your whole storefront. When someone scans it, they land on your live menu.

4. Take your first order

Once your account is approved, the first time a customer scans, orders, and pays, you'll get the alert, accept with one tap, and start cooking. The work on your side is the ten minutes above. Everything after that is just cooking.
