Before you use the register you need an account on the web dashboard, with the business approved and an Owner employee with a PIN. This is the order to follow.
1. Create the account
- Go to food.yammbo.com/dashboard/signup. On the public home page the link is «Para restaurantes» (For restaurants).
- Enter Your name («Tu nombre»), Email («Correo electrónico») and Password («Contraseña», at least 10 characters).
- Click Create account («Crear cuenta»).
2. Verify your email
- You will see «Revisa tu correo» (Check your email). We send a 6-digit code that expires in 30 minutes. The subject is «Tu código de Yammbo Food» followed by the code.
- Enter the code in the Code field («Código») and click Verify («Verificar»).
- If it did not arrive or it expired, click Send another code («Enviar otro código»).
- The email also includes a confirmation link. If you use it, it asks for your password for security and then Confirm email («Confirmar correo»).
If that email already had an account, you get a notice titled «Ya tienes una cuenta en Yammbo Food».
3. Sign in to the dashboard
You sign in to the dashboard with email and password at food.yammbo.com/dashboard/login (Sign in, «Entrar»). If you forgot your password, click Forgot my password («Olvidé mi contraseña»): we send a code (valid for 30 minutes) to set a new one.
4. The 6-step wizard
On your first sign-in you see «Configura tu restaurante» (Set up your restaurant) with «Paso N de 6» (Step N of 6).
| Step | What it asks for |
|---|---|
| 1. Your details («Tus datos») | Your phone and Country (sets the currency and time zone) |
| 2. Your business («Tu negocio») | Restaurant name, Type of food, Short description, Business phone, WhatsApp for orders and Business country |
| 3. Taxes and service («Impuestos y servicio») | Typical values for your country |
| 4. Address («Dirección») | Branch name (for example Principal), Address, Landmark, City, Time zone and Map location (with «Usar mi ubicación actual», use my current location) |
| 5. Hours («Horarios») | For each day: Closed, or the Opens and Closes times |
| 6. Logo | Square image at least 512 × 512 px (JPG, PNG or WebP), with «Elegir imagen» (choose image). Optional: «Omitir por ahora» (skip for now) |
At the end click Finish («Terminar»).
The country cannot be changed later
In step 2 the country sets the currency and time zone, and it cannot be changed once the business leaves the setup stage. If you change it inside step 2, the wizard restarts from there with the suggested currency, time zone and taxes of the new country.
More useful details:
- The taxes in step 3 are only guidelines. Confirm the current rate with your accountant; you can change them later under Store («Tienda»).
- Step 2 creates your business and its public link, which comes from the name (food.yammbo.com/ plus the short name). If the name is taken, -2, -3 and so on is added. The link does not change if you rename the restaurant.
- You can create up to 5 businesses every 24 hours per user.
5. Wait for approval
When you click Finish, your business goes into review. In the Panel section (the first one in the menu) you will see: «En revisión por Yammbo. Te avisamos por correo cuando esté aprobado.» (Under review by Yammbo. We will email you when it is approved.)
When it is approved you get the email «Aprobamos (your restaurant)» and the status changes to «Publicado» (Published). Until it is approved:
- The register cannot be linked. The code is rejected as if it were wrong.
- If the status says «Falta terminar la configuración» (Setup not finished), click «Continuar configuración» (Continue setup).
If your restaurant shows as suspended, the dashboard displays «Tu restaurante está suspendido.» with the reason and the «Hablar con Yammbo» (Talk to Yammbo) button. While it lasts, the online store and new orders are turned off. Write to support@yammbo.com or use Support («Soporte»).
6. Create the Owner employee with a PIN
To link a register with a dashboard code, there must be at least one active employee with the «Dueño» (Owner) role. Create it like this:
- In the dashboard go to Team («Equipo») and open the POS employees tab («Empleados del POS»).
- Click Add employee («Agregar empleado»).
- Enter the Name, choose the Owner role and enter a PIN of 4 to 6 digits.
- Save.
PIN rules: it cannot repeat across active employees and, once saved, it is never shown again. If you forget it, set a new one with New PIN («PIN nuevo»).
If you try to generate the code without that employee, the dashboard says: «Crea primero un empleado con el rol Dueño en la sección Empleados de Equipo. Sin él no se puede vincular una tableta.» (Create an employee with the Owner role first.)
If you sign in on the register with your email
When you link the register by signing in with your account (email and code) and the restaurant has no employees yet, the app itself asks you to create the owner with a PIN. It is still a good idea to create it in the dashboard first. See First start and linking.
