What you do vs what Koolodoor does
Managers never create the Group or Store themselves. Access is free — no join fee; soft-launch restaurants pay 0% food commission.
- Koolodoor creates your Group and one or more Stores, then sends Invite Group Manager (or a manager invites Invite Business Partner).
- You: open Partner Tools → Invitations → ACCEPT (signs you out — sign back in) → you're in.
- Then Partner Tools → Management → Manage Group: UMS, People, Sync Items (per store), Live. Managers can run every store like a partner.
Quick heads up
No Group / Store yet? Contact Koolodoor — we set that up. First taps: Partner Tools → Invitations → ACCEPT.
Mental model
- You do not create items directly on the store.
- Everything is built in the Group (Unified Menu System / UMS).
- Then you Sync Items to the store(s) when you're ready.
Phase A — Accept your manager invite
- 1Koolodoor already created your Group + Store(s) and invited you.
- 2☰ Partner Tools → Invitations → ACCEPT on Invite Group Manager.
- 3Sign out and sign back in if the app asks — then Partner Tools → Management → Manage Group.
Phase B0 — Working Country (before prices)
- 1Manage Group → tab Settings → Working Country.
- 2Pick the country whose prices/currency you want to configure next.
- 3One Variant Config can hold multiple region prices (one per country) — switch Working Country when pricing another market.
Quick heads up
Working Country = local context for catalog prices & modifiers while you edit.
Phase B — Create ItemConfig
- 1☰ Partner Tools → Management → Manage Group.
- 2Tab Item Configs → + → Create ItemConfig → name / details → Save.
Phase B — Create Variant (+ price)
- 1Tap the Item Config you just created → + → Create Variant.
- 2Add photo, name, price for the Working Country → Save.
- 3Optionally add more country prices on the same Variant Config later (still one sellable variant, many region prices).
Phase B — Modifiers & Options (optional)
- 1Tab Modifiers → create a modifier group (min/max picks).
- 2Tab Options → + → Create Option → name + price → Save.
- 3Open the Item/Variant → Edit Modifiers → attach the modifier.
Phase B — Menu Sections
- 1Tab Menu Sections — create headings (Burgers, Drinks, …) and arrange order → Save Order.
- 2Attach variants to sections so the store menu has structure after sync.
Phase C — Sync Items to the store (golden rule)
- 1Switch to the store: Manage Store (or via Stores tab).
- 2Go to Sync Items.
- 3Choose Sync Group Menu (full menu), Sync Selected, or Refresh Existing.
- 4Tap Confirm & Start Sync.
Quick heads up
Country filter: Sync Items for a store in country X only lists Variant Configs that have a price for X. No price declared for country X ⇒ that Variant Config is invisible in Sync Items for all stores in X.
Phase C — Availability
- 1On the store → Availability tab → set opening hours.
- 2Items default to Follow Store Hours.
Phase D — Build your team
- Manage Group → People → Invite Group Manager or Invite Business Partner (free, invite-based).
- See people-roles for who can invite whom.
Limits
- Max 20 modifiers per dish · max 20 options per modifier · max 99 dishes per section.
