First-day launch checklist

Last updated 2026-06-271 min read

A practical checklist before you open with Ellich: menu, staff, devices, and tests.

On this page

Use this list before you open for service with Ellich.

1. Store and users

  • Correct store is selected for today's location.
  • Staff accounts exist for everyone working today.
  • Roles match what each person should do (cashier, kitchen, etc.).

2. Menu and pricing

  • Products and categories are visible on POS (and kiosk if used).
  • Modifiers and required choices behave as expected on a test order.
  • Tax and service rules match your policy (validate with your admin).

3. Kitchen and KDS

  • A test order from POS appears on KDS with the right items and timing.
  • Station or routing rules match your line setup (if you use them).

4. Hardware smoke test

  • Receipt printer prints a short test (if applicable).
  • Payment terminal or card flow completes a small test transaction where allowed.
  • Kiosk (if used) completes a test order end-to-end.

5. Contingency

  • You know who to call if login fails or orders stop routing (internal escalation path).

When this checklist is green, you are ready to run a soft opening with limited menu or hours.
