Create your TapTime account

Everything in TapTime hangs off one account: your menus, your bookings, your loyalty program and your bill. You create it once, with your own email address, and you keep it even if the business later grows to five locations.

Sign up

1. 1
   Open the sign-up page

   Use the Start free button on any page of tapti.me, or go straight to the panel and choose to create an account.

2. 2
   Enter your email and a password

   Use an address you actually read. Everything the system needs to tell you — a new booking, a failed payment, a reply from us — arrives there.

3. 3
   Confirm the email

   We send a confirmation link. It has to be clicked before the account can be used; this is what stops someone signing up with your address.

Create the business

After the first sign-in you name the business and choose the country it operates in. Both matter beyond the label on the screen.

• The name is what guests see at the top of your public pages and in the emails they receive.
• The country decides which price list you are on and which currency you are billed in.
• You can change the display name later; the country is tied to your prices, so write to us if it was wrong.

Add your first location

A business has locations, and almost everything in TapTime belongs to one of them: a menu, a floor plan, a specialist's calendar. Even a single café is one location — that is how the system knows which address to print on a booking confirmation and which timezone to do the arithmetic in.

Panel Locations Add location

Give it a name your staff would use, the street address, the timezone and the opening hours. The hours are not decoration: they are what a booking page offers slots inside, and what a menu uses to decide whether it is open right now.

What happens next

Nothing is charged yet. From here you pick the modules you want, each of which starts a free 14-day trial for that location, and then you build the thing your guests will actually see.
