Launch a restaurant growth OS in 1 day

Day 0: what you need for a 1-day launch

The one-day claim depends on inputs being ready. Here’s what unlocks speed.

• Clean POS credentials with access to menus, modifiers, taxes, and hours.
• Brand assets (logo, colors, tone) so storefront and communications launch on-brand.
• Decisions on fulfillment (pickup, delivery, lead times) and location rules.
• A point person to approve the storefront and launch checklist the same day.

Morning: connect POS + menu sync (source of truth)

A 1-day launch works when you start with clean data. The goal is to make the POS the source of truth for items, modifiers, pricing, and availability so your storefront stays accurate without manual edits. If you need a deeper walkthrough, read the POS sync guide.

• Connect your POS and pull in menus, modifiers, taxes, and hours.
• Normalize naming, modifiers, and combos once so you don’t fix the same problem in multiple channels.
• Confirm fulfillment settings (pickup, delivery, lead times) and location rules.
• Run a quick sanity check: top sellers, common modifiers, pricing, and tax behavior.

Midday: launch branded ordering that converts

Once data is synced, ship the direct ordering experience. This is where you win on speed, clarity, and a checkout that feels trustworthy on mobile. See how we approach online ordering so marketing clicks turn into orders.

• Set category order, featured items, and best-seller placement for fast decisions.
• Add conversion helpers: badges, bundles, and smart pairings to lift average ticket.
• Confirm checkout fundamentals: address validation, tips, fulfillment selection, and clean confirmation screens.
• Test mobile performance end-to-end so marketing clicks actually turn into orders.

Afternoon: enable loyalty + automations on day one

Most stacks treat loyalty as a later project. That delays repeat revenue. Turn it on immediately so every order creates a profile and a reason to come back. Learn more about loyalty and CRM.

• Enable earn + redeem and show progress during checkout (not after).
• Create 2–3 starter segments: new guests, repeat guests, and high spenders.
• Turn on simple automations: post-purchase bounceback, reorder reminders, and win-back for churn risk.
• Measure lift using order-based attribution, not vanity clicks.

Key takeaways (the 1-day launch formula)

• A one-day launch starts with POS + menu sync so you stop fighting data drift.
• Branded ordering comes next because it’s the fastest path to direct revenue.
• Loyalty and automations should be live on day one so repeat behavior compounds immediately.
• Reality check: timing depends on POS access, menu complexity, and approvals, but a first location can go live in a day when inputs are ready.
