Get started with Zimtig
Learn what Zimtig does, what each dashboard section is for and the best order to set things up.
Zimtig puts your menu online at its own address, such as zimtig.com/your-restaurant. Customers pick their dishes, build an order and send it to you on WhatsApp with every detail. You confirm it in that chat and follow it from your dashboard.
You can also run a digital stamp card to reward regulars, and use Tablet Mode so guests can order from their table. Zimtig never takes or processes payments: you agree on payment directly with your customer.
A tour of your dashboard
Each person only sees the sections their role allows: Owners and Administrators see all of them; Staff members see Orders and Stamps. The details are in team roles.
- Overview: how your day is going, at a glance.
- Orders: orders from your menu and your tablets, with their status.
- Products and Categories: your menu, with prices, photos, options and hours.
- Coupons: discount codes for your customers.
- Stamps: your loyalty program, where your team stamps cards and hands out rewards.
- Tablet Mode: pair tablets so guests can order from the table.
- Team: invite people and choose their role.
- My restaurant: profile, hours, delivery, payment methods and your menu link.
- Assistant: only appears if Zimtig has turned it on for your restaurant.
At the bottom of the side menu, Help center opens these guides in a new tab.
What the Overview shows
You're greeted with a hello, today's date and four figures: Awaiting confirmation (orders waiting for your answer), Confirmed, Confirmed value (the all-time total of confirmed orders; it doesn't mean they were paid) and Available products.
Below are Latest orders and the Your operation card, which tells you whether you're open, your preparation time and how many categories are visible. The page refreshes itself while it's open; to refresh right away, tap the refresh button in the top bar.

Frequently asked questions
Do my customers pay through Zimtig?
No. Zimtig prepares the order and your customer sends it to you on WhatsApp. You handle payment, using the payment methods you choose.
Do my customers need to download an app?
No. Your menu opens in their phone's browser from a link, and the order is sent through WhatsApp.
Why can't my Staff member see the products?
That role is meant for handling orders and stamping cards, so it only sees Orders and Stamps. If they need to edit the menu, an Owner can change their role in Team.
