How to Manage Publishing and Share Your Ordering Link

Overview

The Publishing section allows restaurant owners to share their online ordering link with customers through social media, Google Business Profile, QR codes, and other channels. Customers can use the link to access the restaurant's online store and place orders.

1. Access the Publishing Section

1. Log in to your restaurant dashboard.
2. Navigate to Grow → Publishing.
3. View your store's publishing options and available ways for customers to order.

2. Copy and Share Your Ordering Link

At the top of the Publishing page, you can find your restaurant's online ordering link.

1. Locate the ordering link displayed in the green Your Store Is Live section.
2. Click Copy to copy the link.
3. Use View Store to open your online storefront.
4. Use Get QR Code to access your restaurant's QR code.
5. Click Share to view the available social media sharing options.

You can share the ordering link on your website, social media profiles, messaging platforms, or other customer communication channels.

3. Share Your Ordering Link on Social Media

The Social Media panel allows you to copy a platform-specific ordering link for sharing.

Available platforms shown in the dashboard include:

• Facebook: Add the ordering link to your Facebook Page, including its ordering action button where available.
• Instagram: Add the link to your profile bio or share it through Stories using an appropriate link sticker.
• Google My Business / Google Business Profile: Use the link for your business's online ordering option where supported.

Steps to share your link

1. In Grow → Publishing, click Share.
2. Open the Social Media panel.
3. Find the platform where you want to share your ordering link.
4. Click the copy icon next to that platform.
5. Open the relevant social media or business profile.
6. Paste the copied link into the appropriate website, ordering link, profile, or action-button field and save your changes.

Track social media visits

The dashboard indicates that each platform-specific link is tagged so that visits can be attributed to the platform where the link was shared. You can review this information under Reports → Website Visits.

4. Download and Use Your QR Code

A QR code gives customers another way to access your online ordering store. Customers can scan it with their phone to open the ordering link.

Steps to download your QR code

1. Go to Grow → Publishing.
2. Click Get QR Code.
3. Review the QR code displayed in the panel.
4. Click Download PNG to download the image.
5. Print or display the QR code wherever customers can easily scan it.

Recommended places to display the QR code

• Restaurant tables or table tents
• Restaurant entrance or window stickers
• Printed menus
• Takeaway bags and packaging

Make sure the printed QR code is clear, large enough to scan, and not obstructed.

You can also use the displayed ordering link by clicking Copy, or open the storefront using Open.

5. Verify Your Publishing Setup

After sharing the link or displaying the QR code:

1. Open the ordering link or scan the QR code using a mobile phone.
2. Confirm that the correct restaurant storefront opens.
3. Check that customers can browse the menu and proceed with ordering.
4. If you shared the link on social media, verify that it appears correctly on the relevant profile or page.

Important Notes

• Keep your ordering link accessible and up to date wherever you share it.
• Check that your store is live before distributing the link.
• QR codes should be tested after downloading and before printing in bulk.
• Social media platforms may have their own requirements for adding ordering links or action buttons.

Summary

The Publishing section helps you distribute your restaurant's online ordering link through direct sharing, social media, and QR codes. Use these options to make your online store easier for customers to discover and access.
