Install Restaurly on the PC
Install the Restaurly PC app on the computer that will stay with the restaurant.
Applies to: supported desktop platforms and restaurant administrator.
Before you begin
- Complete Before you install.
- Download the installer only from the official Restaurly download location supplied for your account.
- Close any older Restaurly window before starting the installer.
Existing restaurant
Do not manually delete or move Restaurly databases, images, backups, licenses, or protected application data. If you are upgrading an existing installation, use the supported installer/update path and make a backup first.
Install the PC app
- Open the official Restaurly package for your operating system.
- Follow the installation prompts shown by the operating system.
- If the system requests local-network or firewall permission, allow Restaurly on the trusted private restaurant network. Do not enable public-network access unless your network administrator has reviewed it.
- Finish the installation, then open Restaurly.
On a new PC with no active license, Restaurly opens its activation screen before the local restaurant service or Dashboard starts.
What should happen
You should see a Restaurly sign-in page asking you to activate this machine. If the normal Dashboard opens instead, this installation already has a license; do not start a second activation.
If it does not work
- Confirm you used the installer intended for this PC.
- Restart the computer once, then open Restaurly again.
- Record the exact operating-system or Restaurly message. Do not delete application data to make the message disappear.
- If the app shows a database, update, or license recovery page, stop and use the matching troubleshooting guidance or contact support.
