Creating and Converting a Sample Restaurant

Chapter 1. Introduction

When you open TouchBistro for the first time, you can click on a button called View sample restaurant. This allows you to see how a typical restaurant might be setup in TouchBistro. You are able to modify and use the sample restaurant as you like, but you will not be able to register or purchase a license for it.

This sample restaurant remains available in your list of existing Standard Restaurants in TouchBistro.
