#Install TastyIgniter

Installing TastyIgniter is a simple 3-step process:

1. Download the TastyIgniter setup wizard.
2. Upload the wizard's files to your web host.
3. Open the wizard in your browser to run the automatic setup.

Once installed, log in to your TastyIgniter Admin to start adding menu items and managing your restaurant.

#Choose your website theme

1. Click Design in the sidebar.
2. Click Themes.
3. Find a theme you like and click its star icon to activate it.
4. Click Browse more themes to install additional free themes from the TastyIgniter marketplace.

Note: Changing your theme only changes how your website looks — your menu, hours, and other restaurant details stay exactly the same.

Tip: Create a child theme before editing any theme files, so your changes survive future theme updates.

#Build your menu

2. Click Menu Items.
3. Click + New to add a dish.
4. Fill in at least the following:

Name — What the dish is called.
Price — How much it costs. To change your default currency, go to Manage > Settings > Currencies.
Category — Group it under something like Appetizer or Main Course.
Mealtime — When customers can order it. Manage mealtimes under Restaurant > Mealtimes.
Location(s) — Which of your restaurants sell this item.
Image — Upload a photo — see Menu images for tips.
Status — Turn this on to make the item visible on your website.

5. Click Save.

You can also add Options (like sizes or toppings) and Specials (discounts) from the tabs on the same page.

#Set up your delivery area

Delivery areas define where you deliver and how much you charge based on distance.

1. Click Manage in the sidebar.
2. Click Locations, then the pencil icon next to your restaurant.
3. Click Settings, then the Delivery Areas tab.
4. Click + Add new area.
5. Give it an Area Name, choose an Area Type (Address, Shape, or Circle), and click Save.

Note: Every location needs at least one delivery area before it can accept delivery orders.
