# Quickstart

## Start Here - You're in the Right Place

If you're a business owner looking for a simpler way to manage orders, track payments, and serve customers efficiently, Servinn is built for you. Whether you run a hotel, restaurant, cafe, retail store, or any hospitality business, Servinn adapts to how you work.

## What Servinn Does in Simple Terms

Think of Servinn as your digital business assistant that helps you:

* **Accept orders** from customers using QR codes they can scan from their phones
* **Track every sale** in real-time so you always know what's happening
* **Monitor your money** with clear views of payments and revenue
* **Manage your offerings** - your menu, products, or room types
* **Coordinate your team** with different access levels for staff, managers, and owners
* **Understand your business** through simple reports and analytics

### To get the best experience with Servinn, make sure you have:

* **At least 2 internet-enabled devices**
  * 1 for fulfillment (i.e. at the front-desk, in the kitchen, over the counter, etc)
  * 1 for guest-facing or for staff order entry
* **Reliable internet access** across all ordering and fulfillment areas
* **Clearly defined ordering or dining points**
  * Staff must know where orders originate and where to deliver them
  * Budget for QR code signage or printed materials if needed
* **Staff with email access and basic digital skills**
* **Onboarding support**
  * 3-day guided walkthrough (live or virtual)
  * Twice-weekly recap using system manuals: [Knowledge Base](https://docs.servinn.co/knowledge-base/), [Guides](https://docs.servinn.co/guides/), [Demo Walkthroughs](broken://spaces/bZ3XMKJyYqbHfRuXiq1u) 

That’s it — once these are in place, Servinn works seamlessly.
